[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Did you attend the last PTA meeting where someone told another parent their child should just go back to their base school? That meeting was incredibly nasty. As the parent of a center child, I found it very hurtful. We had always assumed we were a Haycock family and after that meeting, I don't really feel very welcome. It's a wonderful school. I've always been a huge booster because I think it's a truly outstanding school. My child is very happy there. I don't think my child has picked up on this vibe, which is great. The behavior at the last PTA meeting didn't make me want to run out and volunteer there. I'll probably focus my further volunteer efforts on the base school where my other children still attend.

That was nasty but, as you said, that was from one person.  Please don't generalize the entire community (with over 800 students) from the comment of one clearly disgruntled person.  I've been at the school for a few years and had never heard that kind of feeling before and that was NOT a representative PTA meeting.  Please don't remove yourself from the community because of one person who does not represent the feelings of the PTA or most of the families at Haycock.  I'm so glad that your child is having a great experience at Haycock![/quote]

Thanks!  I really hope you're right.  My child really loves it there and I really love the school.  It really made me sad.  I felt like people were blaming our children for the overcrowding problem.  I want to think our children add to the school, not detract from it.  I don't think some of the people realize that Local Level IV is not an option for some of the Haycock kids.  Some of our base schools don't have it and even if they did, it may not be as good of a fit as the center for our particular children.[/quote]
