| I didnt' mean to say that they are bad teachers at all. I think that they are usually (not always) far more interested in themselves and their reputations than in the personal situations of the kids they teach. I'm really glad that your son had a good experience, but for his accomplishments, successes and support, there were almost certainly others who were not focused on and could or should have been - I have seen this in a number of places. My children have gone to international and private schools so we have not had public school music directors, but this has been true in the private schools I've encountered. I knew this would generate controversy, but I've seen it to be the case pretty universally. Your son probably made those folks look terrific. |
