[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound awfully rigid and like  PITA who will drive a school crazy.  Do you think they want a parent coming in who feels she knows everything about "best practices" for all children.  My DC went to a private school where it was clear by the conversations I had with the head of the school and teachers that they were well aware of research but I would never suggest I knew better.  And I would never suggest that there is one way to teach all children effectively.  I have one DC who taught himself how to read at a young age, and clearly not by phonics.  My other DC learned through phonics.  One child does better with more methodical, scaffolded learning methods while the other does better with abstractions and a more theoretical approach.  We have a huge variety of private schools in this area.  What is best for one child may not be best for another.[/quote]

Did you really need to infalme this with the term PITA?
Anyway, I agree with OP.
It is not unprecedented that lay people come into an industry and suggest or make good changes. [/quote]
