[quote=Anonymous]This is a little bit of a strange thread. I get the initial post but the person who claims that half of her kid's class is faculty children seems crazy. Really 50%? What school is this? I am a teacher at a private school which has faculty kids in the school, and first of all, some have been turned down or asked to repeat because the school didn't think it was the right fit for the children. But those who are there are great kids and fit into the community just fine. There is no preferential treatment, I don't even think about it when I am teaching. Truly most teachers are doing their job because they care about the academic and social and emotional growth of their students and treat all of the kids the same. If I had a problem with a faculty kid, which I have, I approach it just as I would with any other kid and their family. I think it's really ugly to assume the teacher's kids aren't worthy of the same education aren't smart or rich enough to be there. It never occurred to me that every time a faculty kid is successful or gets a role in the play or whatever that you think it is preferential treatment. Why wouldn't that kid be deserving? Yuck, I hope most people don't feel like that. If anything, that puts a huge disadvantage on the kids not an advantage. As far as the school that has half of the class being faculty kids, that's just statistically odd that all of the teachers would have the same age kids. And if one or two are behavior problems that just luck of the draw and I am sure they are death with like any one else is. If not, you need to consider a new school because your school has an administration problem.[/quote]
