[quote=Anonymous]I've taught in a similar school and this article reflects my experience 100%. I am very glad Flanagan has this public platform and is giving this issue the attention it deserves. What I saw were parents who straight-up bought their way into affluent private schools (which you certainly can do -- it's it not even really controversial, especially at the kindergarten and lower school levels). Then they were absolutely outraged that you cannot similarly buy your way into colleges. It taught me that schools that depend on donations -- for increasingly luxurious amenities, administrative bloat, expensive promotional materials, etc. -- are inherently corrupt. You cannot make decisions in the best interest of a child when your paycheck depends on you making decisions in the best interest of an entitled parent.[/quote]
