[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you browse the private school forums? Currently you can read about concerns at GFS, Holton, and Stone Ridge. Go.back a few weeks and you can find concerns about Fields,SAAS. All private school's are a gamble. You gamble with finances, teacher turnover, whether the student population is a good fit for your kid, etc.

There are no absolutes in this game for better or worse and that includes SSFS. Just do the best you can to find a school that feels right. For that reason we are taking the gamble with SSFS. [/quote]

Sure there are concerns about other schools, there always will be! This is QUITE different and everyone knows it. A school in such serious debt that informs their teachers about the closing of the entire school 15 minutes before sending a notice to the rest of the community? They had just hired a new HoS and a new HoMS, even while the Board has preparing for the close. Then a week later, decides to stay open? NO other private in the area has done this so there is NO comparison to the posts about other schools![/quote]

Whatever you need to do to convince yourself that YOUR school is the better choice. [/quote]

Relax. I have no idea if our new school will be the better choice. As I wrote, we really liked SSFS but just don't want to take any chances. I wish no ill will on the school at all. I'd love it if they were able to reboot successfully. I simply disagree with your assessment that SSFS posts and posts about other schools with issues, were similar. Comparing a school that abruptly decided to close then reopen to other schools with HoS issues or whatever else, is ridiculous. [/quote]

Again, whatever you need to believe.[/quote]
