Not less of a person, no. Read the thread before you get all defensive. But clearly lacking in perspective about the demands placed on those of us in the private sector and how expecting teachers to be client focussed and deal with inane questions and helicopter clients is what most of us call a regular day at the office. Read. Think. Then reply. [/quote]

Your job in the private sector is to deal with your clients. Your children's teacher's clients are not their parents, it's the children. 
Do you deal with the questions of parents of your clients in addition to your clients themselves?[/quote]

I think your position is crazy.  A 3 year old is not qualified to judge or assess anything.  Neither is a 10 or 14 year old for that matter.  The customers of public education are the parents and guardians.  They are also the ones paying the bills.  And to stick with your analogy, yes, the executives of my clients who pay the bills and their board members are also my clients, even though my day to day contacts and the consumers of my services are farther down the chain.  And I am frequently called on to meet with, counsel and schmooze my client's boards and execs to make sure I manage the holistic relationship.

Bit this is a useful discussion.  You think the students are the customers; I think it's the parents and guardians.  That probably explains our differing positions.[/quote] If you believe that then you are off your rocker. Go private and call it a day. You are paying for service there. Who cares if you have a qualified educator at the helm?  BTW no certification needed for private and many teachers have BAs only. Many public school teachers have Master's degrees and are certified in their field. But you keep believing they need to kiss your behind to do their job. [/quote]

+1 I was shocked to learn that many Montessori teachers have BA's and earn around $15/hr[/quote]
