I moved to Lex from another part of the state. I have a MA
and 22 yrs experience. I have tried 3 different schools. I
too found it horribly "clickish," and never do they want u
to "fit in" no matter how hard u try. It is like u are a
threat. Be prepared to transfer frequently every year. I
have finally found a "Home," but it has taken 4 yrs. Email me
if u have more questions. Good luck.
