When parents pay for their children's education, they often have a say in how classrooms are managed. Many schools see tuition payment as a sort of “vote” in how things are done, and concerns or suggestions are often taken seriously by school administrators and board members. Things are generally a lot different in public schools, when even the best suggestions or most serious concerns can get caught up in governmental review processes. Parents who voice concerns in public education settings frequently complain of being treated as "nuisances." In the private school arena, though, they are essentially paying customers, and are often treated as such.
