The attitude of "I'm owed something" is one I've never understood.
I get what you're saying.....but, how hard for kids who have attended the school for say 5/6 years and now they are told they can no longer stay there? They are leaving their friends, everything they've known, etc. Shouldnt the kids be grandfathered in?
