Yoda,

Be very, very cautious with this Principal. Schools systems are motivated by demographics and politics. If you have question, go online and get the number to your states Dept. of Education and tell them what is going on. And be very careful if the principal recommends your child attend an alternative school program. Sometimes they have fancy names for these schools or programs. These alternative programs are cheating kids out of an education. Don't let them tell you it's in your child's best interest until you are well informed. Trust me. Also read my Newbie thread maybe it will help you understand what I am saying. Good Luck
