[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good friend of mine retired from teaching at TJ batten or so years ago. They said that they loved the kids there and loved teaching them.

But the parents…. The parents were very difficult to deal with. Many could be very pushy and could also be rude to the teachers. They had many stories to tell of teachers at the school being treated rudely and unprofessionally by TJ parents. After a while, it just was not worth it anymore.

I have a friend in a different FCPS high school.

What you describe is not limited to TJ.  He said parents in FCPS constantly complain when their kid earns a bad grade.

In several cases, he has refused to change a bad grade, and parents then complain to the school and threaten lawsuits against FCPS.  Then the principal has forced him to back down and give the kid a much higher grade than deserved.

No surprise FCPS is hemorrhaging teachers; the system is broken and parents around here are insane.[/quote]

The problem (especially recently) is that a lot of selective colleges had de-emphasized standardized exams which placed greater weight on GPAs.
High schools in Great Neck Long Island don't seem to give grades lower than a B very much anymore as long as the kid is trying.

What if I told you that attending a selective college isn't the golden ticket that you think it is?[/quote]

Depends on what you mean by golden ticket but if selective colleges aren't that important then why is the entire woke-industrial complex so pissed off about the death of affirmative action which only really affected selective colleges?

What if I told you that discriminating on the basis of race is racist even if you don't think the thing you are taking away with the discrimination isn't that important?[/quote]
