[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's an integral part of the job.  If she persists, jump straight to the principal's office. Knowing about your DC's education is a  top part of your job  as parent.[/quote] It is NOT part of the job to cater to overbearing parents. Some people take it too far. Her degree is in education not PR.[/quote]

And the partners at law firms jobs used to be to sit in their corner office and act like clients were lucky to have them and opine in esoteric terms and never have anyone question them.  Then technology, cost structures and expectations changed.  Partners in law firms are now in a client and customer service business.  The ones who didn't adapt were left out in the cold.  Of course, in a law firm a partner can be deequitized and let go for failure to perform.  In DCPS we have tenure so the old school teachers can afford to take the approach you suggest.   Same can be said for a ton of different professions that have all had to adapt and embrace customer service or perish.  There's almost no job left where simply isitting in a corner and doing just a small piece of a job leads to success or growth or advancement.

Every poster on this board who wonders why charters have succeeded or are necessary or what people mean when they say they aren't saddled by DCPS and teacher union limitations needs to look at PP's attitude and realize this is what has held DCPS back.[/quote]
