[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Face the facts folks.  None of these schools "really care" about your kids.  They are a business.  They care about your check.  If your child wasn't there, another child would take his/her place.  Don't delude yourselves.[/quote]

Wow, I totally disagree with this.  I think most teachers care deeply about their students.  I think most educators/admins care deeply about their mission to educate.  People don't go into education to make a fabulous living, or to climb up some ladder.  There are much easier ways to make a moderate income.  There is intrinsic motivation in that profession and usually a real sense of mission, caring & purpose.

OP, our experience at our K-8 school has been very warm & nurturing.  In fact, those are the very first words I would use to describe the school (St Patrick's).  I'd be really worried about a K-8 that felt like a factory!   Does your child feel this way?  Is he/she having trouble bonding with his/her teachers?  Or is it mostly you?  And if it is you - are you sure it isn't just a natural change over from a small social group that you were very comfortable in & where everyone knew you, into a bigger group where you have to make friends again?
