[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure the principal is just glad you are leaving.  Wow.  You are not cut out for this at all.  [/quote]

Thank you. We are very glad we left. Clearly an environment where there are no basic courtesies and acknowledgements or respect for individuals, is not the one we want our children to be in. When our children left the private to join this public school, their teachers friends wished them the best, wrote notes. The school principal wished them the best in an email (hey the school was losing money right - well, he still did). And those are qualities we want to see later on in life in our kids - not just rating of 8-9 in schools where only SOL scores matter.

But those kids and Principal who wrote notes to your kids *actually knew them*  Why in the world would people who don't know your kids wish them the best and write them notes?
Sure, the Principal could have, and maybe should have, responded to your withdrawal email with a "thanks for letting us know" email back, but even that would have been going above and beyond.  She's trying to get a new school year off and running and focused on the kids who are actually attending. She really doesn't care about the hurt feelings and social expectations of the mom of some kids she doesn't even know.

I hope you enjoy your private school.  And should you ever chose to go to a public school again, maybe actually attend the school before judging it.  [/quote]
