[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd blame the parents, too, who are guilty of expecting that their schools have *everything* that any other school has -- and nicer and better at that. Parents have anxiety about their kids having every competitive edge when applying to college, and parents are guilty of plain, old affluenza. So parents complain when another school has more international travel opportunities or more ipads or a slightly better teacher ratio or whatever. It's an arms race to perfection, whatever the costs, and the boards and HOSs are leading the charge, but the parents are egging them on.[/quote] I agree in theory, but what persuasive arguments can you use with those wealthier parents (for whom money is no object and are presumably more influential with the school assuming their donations are greater) to convince them that "our school doesn't need the nicest [fill in the blank] in the DC area"?[/quote]
