defending yourself gets the teachers on your case. Which, in

extremis isn't a word...try: "In those most extreme circumstance, it
involves
switching schools, which takes us to the present situation."

Actually, the phrase "in extremis" (which should properly be
italicized, but that's difficult in straight ASCII text) is perfectly
valid; I believe it comes from the Latin, and it's entirely correct
to use in this circumstance.

Thanks, I wasn't able to argue the point myself (mailserver problems,
grumble grumble...). I use a lot of latin and greek phrases when I
write, and indeed it's a pain to try and get them just right...

Grammar-bashing muyo!
