I lost all my rep when I came to my new school and it was rough. And all the unwritten rules you don't even know about until you break them? Yeah...those are crappy too. I released kids to lunch at the first bell on my first day because that's how we did it at my old school and heard about it. <br /><br />And the kids who cut the cords? I had a kid steal a digital projector from my room WHILE I WAS THERE during my first month at my new school three years ago. Still nags at me that I didn't catch it.

And these kinds of problems in your new school don't undermine that fact at all. It's just stuff.
