[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you taken your concern directly to the principal?[/quote]

No I haven't--by the scolding tone of these newsletter warnings about coming "early" I wouldn't think she'd be very receptive. They are very punitive in this school even if your little pre-kr is late because of emotional melt down and poop attack while there older sib is now late too because of it you are just [color=red][size=24]TARDY [/size][/color] no excuses tolerated. And pretty soon they're dragging you in for a conference if your child is sick and you call it in but fail get an OK from the principal. Parents do not have the autonomy to call their child in sick ANYMORE. I find that INCREDIBLY intrusive. I really would like to get a sense here if others are finding the tone to be heavy handed.[/quote]

I don't have kids at Janney, but as a parent and elementary teacher (currently on mat leave), I must say that it is parents like you who make me want to leave the profession. I LOVE teaching. I have had good relationships with 99% of parents. I am lucky to have a principal who is a great leader, whose time and energy are unfortunately drained by parents like you.

It sounds like there is a legitimate issue--perhaps no before-care available at Janney? But your approach is not effective.[/quote]
