I am not 100% sure my non confrontational personality is good or not. Take the school as an example. We were pretty unlucky on this. We purchased the house based on the assumption that my older one can go to a good public elementary school close by. But right before the school started, we were notified that he was assigned to the school 2nd closest to home, which is the weakest school in the district. During the first two days of school, from talking to my son, I found that classroom was noisy because of kids talk all the time during instruction time. He had no chance to ask questions as the teacher ignored his raising of hands. Those certainly made me even unhappier. I went to the school of my 1st choice and tried to ask about enrollment and future enrollment issues, the staff there said “The school is full. Maybe he (my son) will love the other school. It is a good school. It is ALL ABOUT ATTITUDE”; when I mentioned that students raising hands didn’t get chance to ask question, the comment was “It happens everywhere”. I felt very mad about this comment. Later I found a private school and transferred my son out. Even when I was asked why withdrew my son from the school, I didn’t say “classroom were not in good order” or “teacher seems to ignore students” but just simply “I want to put him in a private school”. This school does not have a good rating. But it seems the principle and staff are trying to improve it from what they were saying. Am I doing a disservice to the school or students there by not letting my true comments out? Given that I still believe in public school system.
