[quote=Anonymous]The point is, these parents are *perceived* as entitled - as in selfish and clueless and privileged. Whether or not is is a platonic truth that Trix yogurt is not served by any decent school does not matter. The fact is that the parents are alienating other parents, and probably not working productively with the administration. I'm surprised that DCUM people have managed to become adults, and presumably successful at their jobs, and have chosen to attend a Title I school, and don't understand this. It does not matter if you believe you are right in a complex system where there are many other legitimate interests at play. You can't just come charging into an established school and start ordering people around  - EVEN IF YOU ARE SURE YOU ARE RIGHT.  Change does not happen that way. If ALL you want is for Larlo not to be served Trix yogurt once a month, or for Larla to have an extra reading book, then sure, march in and make your uncompromising demands. But if you really want to make the school work for everyone, you are going to have to be more humble, cooperative, and sensitive.

Anyway, I would like to hear from gentrifier parents who actually feel they have a good partnership with their Title I principal and the entire school community. [/quote]
