[quote=Anonymous]14:22 again.

I've seen so many parents harass teachers for special treatment during our years in MoCo that my patience has been worn out by parents (and DCUM posters) demanding special treatment for their snowflakes.

In my experience, the worst parents fall into a few very clear categories:
(1) Big ambitions for their kids. If mom or dad went to Harvard and DC is a legacy there, then watch out, teachers!
(2) Parents are clueless. Sorry, but doing math in kindergarten is not actually that exceptional. 
(3) Intelligence used as an excuse for bad behavior. We saw this at our middle school magnet, where one family wanted special rules for their child (child should be allowed to read novels in class, and that's just the start) because this child was supposedly smarter than all the other magnet kids.

I realize the magnets don't have enough room for all qualified kids, and that's a real problem.

But some parents really need to get a grip! If you're on this forum, you're in MoCo. So solve your own problem by having your kid take the MoCo magnet test. [/quote]
