[quote=Anonymous]Nasty nasty nasty. Why can't some of you just try to help. OK, I will. Looking back over our experiences with both public and private, when a problem arose in private, I now wish I had pulled the plug earlier. I should have been more assertive. I should have done a better job of protecting my kids from punitive or just plain inept teachers. Twice we switched private schools but we waited to years' end when too much damage had been done. The smarter parents just yanked their kids the moment they noticed something awry with teachers, the principal, the new administration, whatever. That's what we did the last time around when we realized our son's school was collapsing. We found an opening. Left Friday. Back in his seat on Monday. I know of two other families that did this - some getting refunds on their tuition payments for negligence. Go with your gut. If it's not right, try to fix it within the system. If the system is broken due to a worthless headmaster, just get out. One of my friends pulled her boys from what was supposed to be a high- I.Q. school and plunked them mid-term in public. Best thing she ever did she now says and bemoans the years and money she spent in private schools. Go with your gut and protect your child. That's your job. [/quote]
