>>The case in fact is that many schools, like many FR threads, are full of folks who seek control for the sake of control. For many, being an ed-du-cah-tor is a head trip.<<
OMG. It’s a Charter School. Like a private school. The parent knows the rules and most times CHOOSES it for the control factor. It’s not a head trip. She CHOSE to put her kid in there then when it wasn’t to her liking, sent him back to the District School. I bet the other parents were relieved.
When my daughter was in a Charter, some other parent thinking they were above the rules, ticked me off.
Especially the ones that are SO worried about what other people's kids are doing.
