[quote=Anonymous]Too many people treat school administrators as their personal customer service representative - with an attitude that the paying customer should get what they want.  But it doesn't work this way.  There are too many competing needs at a school to please every parent.  Every child is unique and has specific needs.  Even at a private school, each student is NOT going to get a 100% personalized education.

In the end, you need to find the school that "as a whole" best fits what you want in an education for your child.  There is no perfect place and there will always be facets of a school that you wish you could change.

If you find yourself in a place where you have large concerns about a key factor at your private school - it's probably time to leave because it is not likely to change.

However, if you find yourself wanting to micromanage and change "this" at one school or "that" at another school - or take steps to demand that one school "meet your needs" to stay there or ask another school "promise something" in order for your child to attend,  then you need to self reflect.  Look in the mirror and carefully consider whether you are the problem and not the school. (or an administrator at the school)
