Trust the school administration? The teachers? The School boards? The parents?<br /><br />Or, should there be trust in the children? <br /><br />Generally, kids are survivors at the mercy of adults ... school and parent experiences, good or bad, those that's the paths they are on. <br /><br />Will a few crappy teachers or helicoptering PTA's scar the kids? Or will the kids surf over those adult foibles and find themselves when the time is right from them?<br /><br />As we march forward into time and space there's less and less trust. (schools don't trust parents/children and parents don't trust schools) In some cases, that's appropriate and in others the lack of trust creates havoc.<br /><br /> <br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12724864776915231989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-44532028979011546082014-08-21T20:26:53.322+02:002014-08-21T20:26:53.322+02:00It's not luxury problems, it's parental pr...It's not luxury problems, it's parental problems, and I can totally relate to them. That whole thing with being asked to take responsibility then being expected "to be a robot" (as my daughter calls it) is absurd. The rest is really worrying. It's important to act when something like this happens in your kid's life because you do not want them to end up feeling powerless.Spilling Inkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02427671883940188334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-24144923254440909542014-08-21T17:53:34.133+02:002014-08-21T17:53:34.133+02:00Urgh.

It's so hard to reconcile problems in our cushy little lives in comparison to war and general global revoltingness, but they are problems none-the-less and we shouldn't discredit them just for their comparative triviality. <br />Hope you find a satisfying resolution to this one soon.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678300547613778858noreply@blogger.com
