[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 379920, member: 3419"] Somehow, we made it on time, and got a great tour. It was so nice and open and happy. The reception area in the main office is decorated with-a fishtank and fish motif, and it is so different than sitting in the hall at the old school, amidst dark Medieval paintings paintings and crucifixes. The school counselor is bright and bubbly and told difficult child "We're here for you whenever you need us. Our doors are always open (in fact, the VPrincipal's door was open and he introduced himself) and we want to help you succeed." When we got outside, difficult child said, "I wish XXXX had told me that ... 'We want you to succeed.' Only Miss May said that. Everyone else said, 'You'll do your homework or we'll kick you out.'" Different attitude. I hope it works! Fingers crossed. He starts tomorrow. P.S. The lunchroom has real food and a lot of junk food. And a separate section for Mexican food, like the airport. I could see the wheels turning in difficult child's head ... [/QUOTE]
