[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a former teacher-in private schools it's ( the cap) more about getting families to put the $$$$ back in the school not the teacher's pockets--trust me.[/quote] I am a current private school teacher -- started teaching in the early 1990s. I am sorry you think it is about schools siphoning off money into donations, but that is not the issue. If you have read about issues in private schools over the past 20 years (everything from the New York Times to professional journals) you'll see how many schools have had to deal with this and how much of the problem was the perception from families that they were in a "presents arms race" and that they had to give or their child would not be well treated. I say perception -- not reality -- I don't think teachers really give preferential treatment over gifts. But families really felt pressured by the situation.[/quote]
