A few years back I asked a grad student who is an asst super at a local
district to bring in a tape from a recent board meeting at which one such
parent type stands to argue against "all this cooperative group crap" by
declaring its irrelevance, shouting that he's an engineer and he never has
to work in groups. (This is, btw, a district famous for its inability to
pass bond measures.)
It's a scary tape and I think I may have frightened some of my credential
students.
