The school has seen a lot of turnover in teachers in the last few years. This bothered me because it generally means something is amiss. One afternoon after school, I had to return for something one of my kids left behind and overheard the first grade teacher in a faculty meeting speaking about a student and family in what I felt was a disrepectful and unprofessional manner. I shared this concern with my spouse and he related something he heard the head of school speaking to another teacher about another parent as he was walking by during the school day; needless to say, it was not a kind or professional comment and really speaks to confidentiality concerns. As this left us with doubts as to the integrity of this school's atmosphere, we no longer wanted to pay a very expensive tuition for a school which decidely had a conflict of interest between their need for tuition and their professionalism.
