My child does attend Main elementary School and the enviroment and staff including the Principal brings a breath of fresh air to the school and children , alot of parents dont like the new principal because she is making their children obey the rules, I say good for her......

My child did go to Main but I transferred her to another school because the principal there does not really like the children or parents and needs to leave. The teachers don't really like the children either from what I can tell. I miss Dr. Bynes!
