[quote=Anonymous]Too many changes at the school this year, installation of new administrators we really dislike and we both find unprofessional and the ones we do like moving on soon, many of the families we liked have left in recent years or are planning to leave.

We didn't apply our kids out this year, but started thinking a little while ago we would next year, when we will hit natural entry years at other schools.  Now I'm having a hard time thinking about signing the contracts for another year.  This is the first year I've ever said to myself at renewal time, "Well, you know, I could save all that money and send them to the local public."

Ugh.  Really don't want to renew but really don't want to yank them out of school without a new placement to go to (and not just something to do until we get to the next place).  The kids do not know how unhappy we are with the school, so it would come as a big shock.

We've done everything we were supposed to do because we felt we should give it a chance and maybe it was just us and so on.  (We've since heard we are not the only ones - see above about other families leaving after this year.)  We made significant gifts to the annual fund and the auction when asked because we felt we were still a part of the community, whatever grumbles we may have.

But when it comes down to it, I just don't want to sign.  I know I eventually will.  But I really don't want to.

I guess this is just a vent, but hopefully someone else can share a good story about how it was better the next year or how they got through the next year and then found a great school for their kids.  Of course, DH will sign if I tell him to, so somehow I feel it's all on me![/quote]
