[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do the teachers here think all privates are like this, or only some?  Maybe I’m deluded, but as a parent, at our school (K-8) I see a lot of appreciation and respect for our teachers. We have some terrific teachers who know our kid and have worked with their strengths and weaknesses. I’m tremendously grateful for them and have told them so. I don’t see an adversarial relationship between teachers and parents, but of course I don’t see everything. [/quote]

When someone says "all privates" they are talking about dozens and dozens in this area alone and thousands nationwide.  Any label slapped on all of them is meaningless, just like saying "all stores in this area are" something.

I've worked in two privates and a charter school in DC.  Each was very different despite the fact they do essentially the same basic function.

No parent would just pick a generic private for their child, just as no experienced teacher would tell you that all privates or publics are comparable. Attitudes from parents and admins can cover all points of the compass.

Each one can vary a lot.[/quote]
