[quote=Anonymous][quote]If you decide to stay, then my advice is to monitor. Schools can change quickly from year to year depending on who is in charge and how the staff and children are responding. If you are happy with how your child is progressing (meeting baseline targets, on grade level, good enrichment, friends) then all is good. It sounds like a great set up with only a 2 minute walk (nice!). But keep an eye on it and be ready to transfer if you need to. The 7-8s and 9-10s are about as good as it can get so they seem like a sure thing but remember that a 7-8 or a 9-10 go from good to bad. It isn't likely that a great school will take a nosedive but it has happened. [/quote]

Another teacher here.  This is excellent advice.  Find out how long staff has been in the school.  Has anyone actually retired after some years in the school?  That can tell you a lot.  When the principal/admin supports the teachers, the best teachers will be happy and stay.  People who are true teachers want to TEACH and focus on students.  When their focus is pulled away by crazy inane stuff, they become irritated and leave for greener pastures.  The principal has control of this part of the school environment.  They can support or intimidate.  Support works much better.
