I have a long history working in independent schools with some experience in public school. I have held mid-level administrative positions in both environments. I was surprised to see how much effort public school principals put into diplomatic relations with parents. I understood why independent school directors did—-loss of tuition, negative “word-of-mouth” reviews.  Can someone here help me better understand what kinds of power and influence parents have in public school districts?

Btw-I ran out of space for my question. If anything is unclear, please let me know. In short, why are public school principals just as afraid of parents as independent school directors are?

Do you work the holidays into your lesson plans this time of year? Or is it too much of a distraction from your routine? Teaching a SPED music class this year and the students have finally *mostly* become comfortable in the room and with the instruments + noise. We usually work on the same songs each week for one month, but I'm thinking of switching it up and doing Christmas/Holiday songs next week as a send off into break. I work with mostly autistic students.
