[quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm the poster that you're responding to here.  [b]Reading is indeed fundamental (read bolded text again).  As I have ALREADY said,[/b] I don't know why we haven't encountered the problems that some/many/most AA families on this thread have listed...we just haven't.  For the most part, our children's academic and social needs are being met at our IB school.  In some instances, I would even say that their school has gone above and beyond expectations.  The combination of factors I listed above may be the reason, or they may not.  [/quote]

So it sounds like we have the answer as to why school administrators listen to you.  See the bolded: You’re confident and assertive and not afraid to point out when you think people are being idiots.

This is a serious reply.  I’m being serious.

We may not need a better explanation than what you provided above.

(P.s. I saw an article about a year ago saying that what prep kids like Jared Kushner get in their schooling isn’t education or smarts, but instead they learn to speak authoritatively and project control over a room.  I agree with that- it’s one thing that kids from non-multimillionaire families don’t often learn from their parents.  I think this is a big reason for some class divides.)[/quote]
