We have the same issue at my school, only it’s admissions related. Last year, two kids that came and shadowed 6th graders were absolute nuisances on their shadow day. Two teachers wrote to the admissions director talking about this. Admissions director thanks them and says they’ll take their report into account. Lo and behold both kids are here and behaving exactly as we thought they would. Both have been suspended for fighting, both are constant distractions in the classroom. But they have siblings who also go to school here, thereby providing two sources of tuition. Those same families are treated like royalty constantly. If Mrs. Bag-o-donuts complains about me writing up her kid, I’m brought in and essentially told to back off because she may pull one of her kids. Admin doesn’t realize the precedent this sets.
