I teach at a private school, and I am stunned at the parents who seem to resent it when their children actually have to WORK. Seriously, they don't want their children challenged - which boggles my mind. What are they paying $14,000 a year for if not to have their children challenged so they can truly achieve? But no - complaining, complaining, complaining. I had a mother who told me that her precious was stressed out with high school applications (!), so even though she had been given A Tale of Two Cities on November 12th to read by January 8th, she couldn't be expected to have read it because she took Christmas vacation off, and the first weekend back, and then she had missed so many dance lessons AND SHE CAN'T MISS DANCE, so, um, yeah.
What do you say to that?
I just sat there . . .
