[quote=Anonymous]I never said "public school" teachers are angry, I said teachers in all boys schools "get boys and don't expect them to act like girls" and ll boys chools get this.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So in terms of the interviews and applications (to a non-Big 3), how would I spin this?  "My kid is completely average and is going to require some handholding and may be a bit slow, but is really sweet, so he would be a great addition to this school that you're trying to sell as academically rigorous?"  What's the edu-speak on this...  do I need to lead with my wallet here?[/quote]

When I went to the interview I said just that. He is learning to hate to learn and I am afraid I will lose him to lecture and angry teachers.

I have a friend that said close to the same.

Depending on the school that is the student they love, one that teachers can feel they had a kid that was inspired by their class where the other environment could not do that.[/quote]

They love to hear that you want him to enjoy learning, not do a lot of testing, all the extras, yadda yadda because you are telling them what they think are their strengths. The stuff about [b]angry teachers[/b] not so much, because they have been around enough to know that this isn't the case for most public school teachers and you need to seem genuine here.[/quote]

Not true. All boys schools understand, teachers are angry when boys don't act like girls.[/quote]

That's right, PP. All teachers are angry at all boys. Especially in all public schools where all teachers expect all boys to behave like girls, but fortunately this problem is non-existent in all private schools.  :roll: [/quote][/quote]
