When my daughter went, 100 years ago, I got more the “oh poor you, it must be so hard to have her go away.” Said in a tone of “you are so stupid to have allowed that, we would never be so stupid.” There are a LOT of clueless people out there. Those particular parents who rubbed me the wrong way the most are now in a school system where their kid will be getting two hours of real teaching PER WEEK. It is hard to keep my mouth shut about how dumb I was to let my kids go to BS.
