in the meantime i can add my variation to Shawnfuscious' one: never act before talking (cuz chances are youve misunderstood the other side or have made faulty assumptions based on minimal information from the source or - heavan forbid - hearsay).
and, our country's leaders dont go to meet foreign leaders face to face for the frequent flyer miles...they go there for a reason. there IS no substitute for face to face communicaiton to build relationships and understand one another, and work things out. none whatsoever.
Congrats highland Mom. Glad to hear it worked out well.
And as a side benefit you have started with a positive relationship with your Principal. Mutual trust and mutual respect really go a long way to making a group work well.

That's excellent news highlandmom! Good for you. It's hard to go straight to the source sometimes because of the fear of the unknown. You just did the best thing you could for your team - threw the lines of communication wide open!
a OK - I know you're dancing in your chair right now. Throw one of your quotes on us!

All is well with our little world. I had my meeting with the principal and we are going to work everthing out with the feild trip. Turns out I got some info from our former president that was not entirely true. So the principal and I had a nice talk and looks like we have a very peaceful and productive future. So glad that I listened TO all of your wonderful advice and went straight to the principal and not involve anyone else. THANKS
