High school teachers: authority figures and mentors--or BFF and "Mom"?

<p>^^Our kids do not get to sign each other’s yearbooks…our yearbooks do not come out until the following August after the seniors are off at college and the previous school year is gone and forgotten by the underclassmen. </p>

<p>

Yep. Exactly. Expecting significant changes this year, per a very reliable source. ;)</p>

This is what many have failed to acknowledge with regard to our school’s case. This yearbook was brought to me by some dissatisfied kids, and many others signed our petition. This was in <em>NO</em> way a simple parent vs. student or parent vs. sponsor battle. Many of the students felt that the book did not accurately reflect THEIR own school.</p>

<p>

Actually, our yearbook sales (and local business sponsorships) were WAY down this year as a protest of the inappropriate content that reflected badly on our one-high-school town and also on our community. This was very alarming to those who produced the yearbook–one of those parents even stopped a woman that I worked closely with after the board meeting to express her anxiety over the financial jeopardy.</p>
