No way are you strange.....the primary school we sent our child this year had 2 x orientations last last year, and a seperate meeting for the parents - so on 3 diff occasions we went and visited that school. Whilst seeing the school was all great, it wasnt until we got talking to the parents whom already had kids there, that you get a real feel for the school. So maybe...hang around the parking lot b4 drop off and pick up, and get chatting to some parents. YOu will find most will be more than honoured to give you the details....
