[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dislike our division head. I think her decisions about curriculum changes are off, she has trouble relating to kids and parents and I have read on here that prospective parents are turned off by her cold or odd demeanor during tours. I steer clear. If I have needed her, it has never turned out as I would have liked or expected.

We are leaving for a variety of reasons, but not respecting or liking the division head and the tone she sets is a big one. [/quote]

I think this post is a good example to OP on what choices are available.  When a family is unhappy with curriculum decisions, it is a good reason to leave.  Not being happy with interactions with the head doesn't really help matters much - but my guess is that when a parent and the head don't agree on something as important as curriculum, then the parent is never going to leave that meeting feeling good about it.  Steering clear is a wise decision and very good advice to OP if this is the case.  Looking elsewhere is also a good choice.  The chances of the head or the school changing the curriculum are slim, so if you know of other shools that have a curriculum that better matches expectations or works better for your child...move on.  I'm sure it is easier to move on when you don't like the head, than if you do.  [/quote]
