Wow, sprogless, that could have been a horrifying experience depending on the area where the school is located. The school I student taught in was like that--full of really nice rescpectful kids, with normal parents. The school I'm at now is located in the downtown area of the suburb I live in. It is a weird combination of low income stripper, prostitute, and drug dealer's children mixed with the children living in McMansions! This leads to a lot of conflict.
Glad your experience was positive!
