[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my daughter had her admissions interview at Sidwell for HS, she asked about the relationship between students and teachers and was told by the interviewer (also a teacher), "teachers are not your friends". Was such a weird response. [/quote] But guess what....this is 100% true. It's sad. They aren't your friends and most don't want to be your mentors or cheerleaders either. It's so unhealthy. It's like a bunch of PhDs who didn't get a tenure track job and never cared about educating teenagers decided that teaching at a school with prestige might help them save face...and then, even worse, must compete with one another to be the hardest of them all.[/quote] Oh but it’s not all true. DC 1 in this story didn’t get in. DC2 in this story has some sort of issue-based bias in perception.[/quote]
