[quote=Anonymous]This has been an interesting distraction from work.

1.  I think we can all agree that when our kids are involved parents will come out fighting, but their intentions are doing what is best for their kids.

2.  RSCC is a great school, but like anyplace there are things people don't like.  No one is forced to stay.  We all know the grass isn't greener, so there will be different issues to deal with somewhere else, but rest assured there will be issues.

3. Like the others said, a little bit of transparency and communication on the school’s part goes a long way.  How about a notice that said, “Dear parents, much to our dismay, Miss Betsy has left RSCC to attend to family issues.  We will miss her and wish her the best.  Her legacy will remain though and here is what we are doing in the mean time…1, 2, 3, etc.”  Whether this is true or not isn’t the point.  I know teachers have left the school and the students or parents are given no notice.  It happens, parent’s understand that, but again giving some details, a heads up, would be nice.

4.  Regarding the board, I think we can all agree that it is nice that parents are willing and able to volunteer their time, but my child has been at the school for 2 years and I have never seen an invitation to attend a board meeting or a vote on board members.  Board members don’t have nefarious intentions.  Their children belong to the school also, but as was previously mentioned, understanding this process and allowing the other parents to be involved, like voting on the board, would help.  How and why are these parents on the board, do they have some tenure, how can I get involved if I want to, etc.  I personally don’t feel comfortable discussing any issues I have with the board because the limited interaction I have had with some of the board members makes me feel a bit inferior. That is just my impression.  I’m not saying that is the truth.  I just don’t understand the makeup of the school administration and what the roles are.

5.  To the Office who I’m sure is reading this.  You know parents, especially ones around here, they get involved and are fussy and demanding, but they are paying a very hefty fee every month to send their kids here.  Many parents have not seen pay raises in years and some have actually received pay cuts, yet the school raises rates each year.  I hope you can understand why parents get worked up about these things when they are working so hard just to send their kids to school and pay their mortgage.  Personally my family has no extra funds at the end of the month.  We are one major disaster away from financial ruin.  That doesn’t distract my appreciation for the school or acknowledgement of the phenomenal job the teachers and staff do.  It doesn’t change the benefit that I think my child receives from attending.  It’s just something I wish the school and board could understand the strap.  Don’t get offensive, but try to understand.
