<p>I know this is "off topic" but I can't help but wonder why a private school would behave this way. (Are they aware that you placed your younger D elsewhere because of their lack of cooperation?) </p>
<p>My kids go to a private school too and it always amazes me how some private schools like to put their heads in the sand and ignore the fact that you are a paying customer who could choose to go elsewhere. I can only surmise that many of them have been educated themselves in a system designed for public schools (where there is little or no choice to go elsewhere). It's almost like they don't want to admit that a private school is a "business" which depends on having customers who return each year and who will refer new customers. It's like they are "in denial" about this fact. </p>
<p>Recently, the principal at my kids' former school was fired (finally!!!). The decision was finally made after so many parents had pulled their kids out of the school and enrollment was seriously affected. The teachers' reaction? They have been complaining that the parents have too much power! WHAT?!?! What are they suggesting??? Are they suggesting that parents should be FORCED to send their kids to a school??? Is being able to remove your kids from a school a problem of having the "too much power"???</p>
<p>Again, sorry for going "off topic"... just had to vent a bit about this ridiculous response.</p>
<p>Xiggi... Thanks for suggesting contacting CB. I never thought about them but it would seem that they would want to insist on being the only reporting source (since they charge for the service).</p>
