i am not happy with the principal . She has made unnecessary rules as if we were in kindergarden. How are we supposed to learn to make good decisions if we aren't allowed to make any?

This is the first year my student has gone to this school. I was at first very encourged that my child was going to get a good education and to get the help they needed.
