A former Alpha School parent alleges the school created a 'Dean of Parents' gatekeeper role that discourages direct parent-teacher contact. He says a guide was disciplined and fired partly for telling a parent their child cried daily over workload, despite the parent valuing the transparency. Commentators argue such opacity could damage the broader school choice movement.
