There it is! That nonsense about principals not wanting to deal with educated middle class families.

Puhleeze! Bancroft's ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL has degrees from YALE and Columbia. She's also well-traveled.

The principal is nothing to shake a stick at either.

So why would these IMPRESSIVELY EDUCATED middle-upper class ladies (both making at least $100,000 per year) be intimidated by middle class parents with college degrees?

Maybe they're a bit put off by those ignorant (meaning those who really do not understand best practices in education and/or school leadership) parents who "question or make demands for rigor and professionalism".  After all, if you were a doctor and one of the principals came into your office "questioning" or "demanding rigor or professionalism", I'm sure you'd be put off too. Your Yale degree or experience as a school principal does not give you insight into what I'm supposed to be doing as a doctor.[/quote]

If school administrators cannot communicate with parents using proper grammar, or intentionally avoid engaging with certain parents, they aren't doing their jobs correctly.  Whether they have degrees from Yale, Howard, or the University of Phoenix doesn't really matter.[/quote]
