I typically never write reviews, especially negative ones because I know people can have off days and I like to think the best. But to be honest, I have been really unhappy with my interactions with the principal at this school. First off, my oldest daughter was diagnosed with ADHD two years ago and takes medication for it. Last year she was really struggling each day after school because of the amount of homework she had, and we were having a lot of meltdowns from overwhelm. When I talked to the principal about this, and asked if my daughter needed any accommodations due to her ADHD, I was told she is doing fine in school and that I basically just needed to be the boss and not let her be in charge. I didn’t love that answer because she doesn’t know all of the parent training I have done and all of the energy I have put in to avoid power struggles. But my interaction with her today is what really hurt the most. Today when I was dropping my oldest daughter off at school the principal confronted me in front of my child about a situation I was completely unaware of. Instead of assuming the best of me, or asking how things are going and offering support, I felt like she was accusatory and demeaning to me. I actually went back in to talk to her after dropping my daughter off because of how horrible I felt after the conversation. Luckily she heard me out and gave me a parking pass to help make my circumstances a bit easier. But I would have loved to be approached more compassionately and spoken to more like an adult than like a small child. To be honest, I already feel like I don’t fit in here due to my circumstances, and my interaction with her today actually caused that feeling to get a lot worse. I write this review simply because I think going forward, it would be best to see why something may be an issue and first offer support vs thinking the worst and making someone feel even more isolated.
