[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]#15). We are spending $30K+ to send our child here for Kindergarten. What guarantees can you make to us that she will be admitted into Harvard? WTH????????? Yes, this is very true!!!!![/quote] Just remember, dear teacher, the neurotic, desperate Ivy-fixation fantasies of these parents keeps you employed. No one really thinks K, 1st, 2nd, etc. is objectively worth $30k, rather, parents want you to give their kids the much sought-after "unfair advantage." Ridiculous, yes, but playing into this fixation is the gig you have chosen. It must feel smarmy most days.[/quote] On behalf of all independent teachers in the world (I haven't talked to everyone, but I think they'd be cool), um, no, we don't think our profession is smarmy. P.S. We also all think you sound like a patronising, judgmental jerk. A few of us in coastal cities who used to be in bands like your use of the word "gig," though.[/quote]
