Agreed. I have always worked outside the home. Im not “friends” with any of the teachers. Being divorced and a split family (who the other side has more than once caused waves in a negative way within the schools), my kids seem to always have a steep hill to climb as none of the teachers seem to want to deal with “us” (dad/stepmom). One of my children is not white but they are also not as academically advanced as her older sibling. So if they got passed over I wouldnt be certain if it was due to me not being part of the “in parent” crowd, them avoiding the drama that sometimes dad/stepmom causes, that they dont think my kid has the academic fortitude to succeed, or is it just underlying systemic racism that gives preference to white students?
