[quote=Anonymous]Primary Day parent here. He started out on the wrong foot. It was the most obnoxious back to school night I've ever attended. First there was a story about how people have a third child when they've reached a certain point in marriage and they have nothing to do anymore or to say to each other. Then a ridiculous all about me oprah style where all teachers names were shouted out to show how magnificent he was for knowing them and we all had to clap and look at the poor teachers faces and see how embarrassed they were. Then he said it was the children and parents that made primary day special which is true except that actually what makes the school an amazing experience for both my kids is the amazing teachers and Beako and he didn't even acknowledge the them at all! We all felt so badly because we could see their faces and they were obviously annoyed and hurt. Then there was a story about family that was out of place too. He doesn't understand us as a community yet. We aren't swanky parents. Primary Day went through a few years with really difficult and demanding rich parents but with the exception of a few families now most families are just normal families or moderate incomes who lead normal lives. We don't sit around drinking wine at our beach houses. We go to basketball games and school picnics and kids birthday parties. The old head got it but this ones doesn't seem to. Just no connection and being talked down to even when raiding probkens or when working on a parent volunteer committee. Obviously the board doesnt get it either. The school feels different and not in a good way. [/quote]
