[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Got it. So a child new to the school works up the guts to ask for help, but if he doesn’t ask for help in just the right way, he is brushed off. He will have to self-teach science, and parents paying the bill are excluded from any involvement, transparency and communication. They are gaslit that if they actually want to know what’s going on and support their child that they are helicoptering or micromanaging. Why you folks pay for this nonsense is beyond me. The goal is for the student to learn and grow. Why put up all these made up roadblocks? [/quote] Some (not all) pay for it because of the "prestige" that some parents (erroneously) think it brings *to the parents* when they tell everyone else their children attend X school. This obsession with displays of "prestige" also explains why some parents (not all) obsess so much about sending their kids to T15, T20, Ivy, HYPS, or whatever. [/quote]
