It all depends on the team and traditions. During my years of study, it was a good school: they provided high-quality knowledge, there were interesting events and competitions. The teachers are the most wonderful, I am grateful to them and I will remember them with kindness all my life!
In terms of communication, school makes you constantly nervous. For any question, you need to take time off from work and come to school. Beat all the thresholds there until you get to the truth. Employees on the phone may answer questions without knowing the correct answer. Although the school has a website, the information there is either incomplete or irrelevant. They posted a list of textbooks for the new academic year and did not write whether to buy them or not. Parents are worried, they call each other, write to each other, try to find out. There is no information for parents of first graders. Which teachers are recruiting classes, when the lists will be formed, when the meeting is scheduled. Silence on the air!
