Yes, our new school is far from perfect but I was never looking for perfect. I just needed a school where I felt like the administration, teachers and parents were all, in general, prioritizing the best interests of the children.[/quote]

Totally this. We were at SSMA for three years, and I found myself many times defending the school on DCUM and in the neighborhood (admittedly because we were "stuck" there and I was trying to make the best of it - and we did like our teacher). But those three years were challenging in many ways, primarily in dealing with the ED and being constantly afraid of which good teachers would be gone the next year.

Now that we "got out" we are much happier for many reasons, the biggest of which is what the poster above said. Feeling like we're all working together. And being able to trust the choices and decisions of the administration.

Do I think you can have a good experience in PK3, PK4, and K at SSMA? Probably. Will you want to stay long term? Doubtful. [/quote]
