[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like other people to chime in and share their thoughts.

I noticed that no one seems to really know anyone. The parents don't seem to know each other. The teachers and other staff don't know the parents (or students).

I noticed very little smiling on the part of the office staff (not necessarily a bad thing). Which makes them seem like they really don't want you to be in their office, unwelcoming.

There is a lot of negativity in the flyers and handouts. Like on the[i] first [/i]line of a sheet for a class, "ABSOLUTELY no food or drink allowed...". Then they say what the class will be about. Rather than something like, "welcome to X class, I am happy that you chose this class...[i]please[/i] respect our environment and refrain from bringing any food or drink in the classroom".[/quote]

They aren't out to please you.  If you come to that school...fine.  If you don't come...that 's fine too.  They don't get paid any different and they won't go out of business.  Your job is to fit into their process.  Your child is the widget and they are the cogs.  (My kids go to public school too.)       Welcome.[/quote]
