Says it all. That's how private school works. The parents know that it is a privilege and not a right and will make the lil darlins behave and study because they know their kid will get kicked out if they don't. I do understand your frustration and hope you find an area of teaching more suitable for you. However,I disagree with one thing though. These kids aren't stupid.
Ineed. In the military system, the parents can be thrown off base, and overseas, the family can be sent stateside sans soldier. It makes for a peaceful school day!
You are right- they AREN'T stupid when it comes to making schmucks out of the school system. And they can do it without reading at a high school level...
