[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would prefer private school teachers not:  
-Tell me the reason they are working at the school is because of the tuition remission policy;
-tell me how much more money they could be making working at a public school or for a company; and
-complain about how little their raise was compared to the tuition increase (don’t they realize it affected me more?).
And yes, all of these things have happened to me multiple times.[/quote]

Really?  Multiple times?  I'm a private school teacher and I can't even imagine a context in which this would come up in conversation with a parent, and even if it did, it's hard to believe that a teacher would say this to a parent.  [/quote]

I’m the PP and not the OP and sadly, it’s true. My oldest is out of college, so we’ve been in private school for years. In addition to the comments I identified, I’ve had teachers complain to me about other teachers, parents, and what’s worse, other kids. [b]It’s the culture of the schools. The teachers are either very professional or they aren’t.[/quote]

"Schools"?  Maybe your school.  At my school teachers certainly aren't using parents as a sounding board for gripes about other teachers and students (?!?!)  I would be fired if I did this. [/quote]
