Many congratulations on all those achievements and thanks for letting
everyone know the list was helpful to you. I'm not a school
counsellor but have seen similar things here. My advice, partly
PCPish, is not to get head on to the construct system of the
management but to present things to them in the terms they
understand: money, pass rates, quality of passes, numbers dropping
out, knock on costs of things going wrong. Keep it incremental as
you're threatening their core construct system with the idea that any
of us need anything more than psychological band aids!
My twopenceworth!
