[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Once again thank you for the nasty comments. Our kids had been in private but due to my wife losing her job we had decided to move them to public. The private school they were in granted us financial assistance so we chose to move them back and sent an email to the public school principal/administrator explaining them the situation, thanking them for helping with enrolling our kids and wishing them the best for the coming school year. All we expected (which I realize now we should not) was a simple thanks for letting us know. Both our kids supplies were in their individual desk - they are in higher grades . To the PP who commented if we were expecting them to beg us to come back, your nastiness shines through. Like I have said earlier a couple of times, it has been a learning experience - the one at the school and likewise now the one with the nasty kind of comments that have been posted here [/quote]

OP, This was the first day of school?  Do you have any idea of what goes on the first day?  Kids showing up without being registered; parents unhappy that Johnny is in Larla's class and wants Larla moved out NOW--or worse, demands that Johnny be moved out because Larla's best friend is in the class.  The administration is also likely in the cafeteria helping with kids who do not know how to go through the lunch line.  Not only that, the principal is likely on the phone with cluster director begging for another slot so that the classes are not so big.  And, then there is the phone call from mom whose child did not get off the bus  or the teacher who just told her that she has decided to retire next month.  Oh, yes, and the Kiss and Ride line with ten kids still standing there long after school is out.  So, the administrator needs to find those parents--one of whom was the mom who is mad because her child did not get off the bus--even though she had indicated that she was picking her up.

So, OP, enjoy your private school with your nice handwritten notes.[/quote]

OMG  :shock:  :shock: [/quote]

That’s actually a pretty accurate description of day 1.[/quote]
