How do I find other parents with my same values at my child's private school? There are several of us, but no official organized way to come together. Can an Undercover Mother email be sent out to the entire parent body of the school anonymously?
Hello, UCD! We suggest you open a protonmail account (or two!) and begin sharing information amongst yourselves and then share with parents you know personally (in your child's class, parents you meet at games, birthday parties, etc) we mined our email accounts for social event invitations from parents over the years we have been at our schools. We don't recommend sending anything to the entire parent body since the school will use that tactic as an excuse to discredit you (which is ridiculous). If you'd like to send an email to your entire school, make sure to check your family handbook rules re: using the school directory. At many schools, you can use the information in the directory to share information about the school, so technically you are well within the bounds of the terms of use (as long as you don't use the list to make money from product sales, advertisements, solicit to raise $, which you are not). They will still try to intimidate you by saying 'we're investigating the matter', but you are sharing school information, its just information the headmaster and NAIS don't want shared! We've found sharing compelling info like homework assignments, content of discussions held in class, 990 tax filing data, unconscionable enrollment contract provisions, staff/faculty hires, UCM substacks, etc. parents will share the emails. Read your enrollment contract carefully. Always protect your identity. They mock us for being anonymous, but we have it on good authority that if they knew our names, our children would be extracted from their classrooms immediately, and we'd get a call to come pick them up, and before the close of business we'd get a letter saying our children are not allowed on campus on Monday! If NAIS & our headmasters would eliminate the threat of predatory retaliation and expulsion for asking questions and objecting to what is happening to our children, they'd hear from the silent majority. But they won't! Please let us know how we can help.
