When you don't get along with an administrator.....

She didn't seem like she had any first hand knowledge other then a story that she heard. I am just surprised as to how this posting got turned around. I thought the orig poster just wanted to know what others have done. Not for her to be judged. Maybe the issue is OP, but that is not our place to judge either.

Can't this forum just offer advice without being mean? just a thought.

I was the PP who mentioned judging and I meant that she shouldn't judge the parenting decisions of others, specifically the parents who homeschooled their child who had school anxiety. And she shouldn't slam the school for recommending it. As I wrote, it can be complicated.

OP I can't believe all of the ire that you are facing. OP was venting. Surely, we've all known people at our kids' schools that we dislike. Sometimes the dislike is a gut feel reinforced by different actions that person has taken. IE Maybe the head is mean to the teachers and the good ones leave or cliquey whatever. Personally OP I believe the head really sets the direction for the school. An inept one would make me leave the school. The only exception would be if I had older children and the kids were only going to be under her for another year or two. In that case if my kids were happy, I' d leave them there. Otherwise, it is not worth the stress. Good luck!
