[quote=Anonymous]why dont you just meet with the new head and see what their philosophy is? I understand posters saying it isn't all about one person, however, I am a great believer that the principal of a school sets the tone and the mood of a place and often the teaching staff is a reflection of the principal - you usually only hire people who are like you in disposition. I viewed one school where the principal seemed very superficial and distant with parents and looked everybody up and down when she met them - and the teaching staff appeared a little pretentious and affected too. I then moved on and found a school where the principal was energetic, bright, well travelled (internationally) and seems very at ease with people and interested in what they say - the teachers are the same way. The school you choose has to be as good a fit for you as for your child.[/quote]
