[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hold a similar position at an independent school in the greater area and make more than that. There isn’t a chance I’d EVER take the job at Sidwell for those wages. It’s a set-up for financial struggle AND failure. The parents’ expectations would be impossibly high. A surprisingly high number of families outsource this job to a private counselor anyway, because many can afford it and recognize that whoever holds the in-school position tends to be pretty green. In my opinion, the priority for these jobs should be hiring someone who can write a good letter of recommendation, who knows the admissions process inside out, and who has enough charm and hustle to advocate for a waitlisted kid or talk a crazy parent off the ledge. I’d want far more than 50K for the pleasure.[/quote]

PUHLEASE... so because parents are demanding Douches, Private Schools should be paying 150K a year to mid -level Admin who have to " effectively deal " with their douche behavior??

So, tuition rise again next year to pay for all the politicking ???

Here's a better idea: get back to Education and tell the parents to go jump in a LAKE[/quote]

PP has absolutely no idea what they are talking about and frankly sounds like someone who has zero to no experience in the private school world. Why come here and post when you have never had, and don't plan on having, a child in an area private? You sound ridiculous [/quote]
