Schools Schools Schools - do you know what they drive me mad. I thought when we made our decision that would be it - but every so often something crops up and I start thinking about schools again.
Most problems occure from a lack of Communication. Communication is everything and if communication was better - i.e clearer and more precise information, then the more information people know, the more informed they are about things, meaning there should be less questions and less confusion.
In the past I have said that the School Office Staff can be awkward (they are sometimes and they are all over the world in every school) but actually they are only told what to do from their boss - who I gather is head of school.
So for many of my friends who have kids in Public School and think you have problems with not knowing stuff - trust me theres not much difference in Private Schools (or some of them).
The safety of my daughter going to school is my main priority, not how well shes reading or writing and sometimes I dont feel that people fully understand the feelings that parents go through, especially when many teachers & headmistresses dont have children themselves.
Only 3 months ago I thought people that treated their dogs like kids were mad - but 3 months later, I have my own little dog and absolutely love him and if anything happened to him I would be distraught. I didnt feel this before I had a dog and the same applies to a child - until you have a child yourself I dont beleive you can fully understand parents feelings.
Private Schools are Businesses and sometimes you have teachers trying to run the business and business people thinking they are teachers.
Business people should stick to the business side and teachers should stick to teaching.
Anyway, got that off my chest!
