“I got no support from the administration and no positive response from the parents–just the admonishment to mind my own business. (One of the reasons I gave up teaching.)”

Exactly the reason my youngest became cynical at the tender age of 15 at his private hs. He saw the handwriting on the wall- it was more about who your parents were rather than who you were as a student. Hard work? Smarts? Talent? No correlation between those things and your popularity with admins.

He’s already said he will never give one red cent back to that school no matter how successful or rich he becomes. Isn’t that sad?
