[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also I would add that a parent that has a Halloween party and invites EVERY single sta boy in the grade in the neighborhood except for one boy who then did not have anyone to go out with is also equally mean. [/quote]

Would the STA administration get involved in cases like this?  I believe (or would like to believe) that Beauvoir's current administration would. It's pretty awful and blatant to exclude one child like that. Really egregious behavior on the part of the parents.  [/quote]

Totally agree. But what is the administration of a school supposed to do about this? It's a private party and, like it or not, people can invite to their home whomever they wish. It's unfair of people to expect the school to intervene.[/quote]

Beauvoir's handbook makes it clear that if you're inviting more than 1/2 the class, ALL of the class must be invited.  If it's an all-girls or all-boys party, if more than a few of the kids of either gender is invited, all of them must be. I do believe the school would respond if there was a violation of this.  As a parent, I'd certainly hope they would.

If you read the contracts that we sign each year, private schools actually have much more leeway to eject families that don't conform to the norms of the community.  Unfortinately, some of them are less likely to do so with families that donate a lot.  Is STA one of those?
