By the way OP please please just give us one example of the poor communications and administration? Just one.

Wait a second. The specific subject of this thread is an example of poor communication and administration. Mr. Garman admitted this in his apology email. Apologizing and remedying the situation does not mean that the poor communication did not happen. The HoS recognized this.

I swear. You are a relentless malcontent. I love how long it took you to come up with a poor tautology! I love it. Will not need any therapy ever

Why are you assuming that you are communicating with just one person? As a Sidwell parent I truly cannot believe how terrible you are in your online behavior, bullying others and calling them names.

As for your tautology assertion:

“We designed but failed to execute a communications plan”

“An oversight for which I accept full responsibility”

Res ipsa loquitur.

I expect you will now deflect and resort to name calling because that appears to be your MO. Have fun with that.

Never called anyone a name. There genuinely are several of us laughing at several of you. The poor behavior is yours. We are guilty of finger pointing. But maybe just cool it with SFS bashing yeah? Or at least have an actual issue you can describe with words?

And your analysis above is actually as wrong as it is pretentious. Google harder. Ouch. Sorry.

Wow, and she quoted the letter verbatim! Again.

This couldn’t get any funnier.

Strange response. New poster to this thread, as I said. There is nothing wrong with wanting the school to be better administratively and to discussing issues on a public forum. That does not mean I have not also discussed my views with leaders at the school directly. I am also a major donor to the school and am not a member of any little clique. Sorry that I don’t fit into your narrative. There are many others like me as well.

Stop donating if you are that unhappy. Find a school that works better for you.

It is so strange that you think it works like this. Either "find a new school" or shut up and be happy? Stop donating why? I like the school and I also encourage them to do and be better. Which they know and admit that they can.

You must lead a very sad, mouse-like existence. Sorry for you.

I lead a very happy and content existence. Trying to make someone who disagrees with you look sad has just the opposite effect. I know this js how it works. Throwing a tantrum under the guise of "encouraging them to do better" is very transparent.

Who is throwing a tantrum? Not me, I promise you.

Tell me, where in the community do you fit in? How supportive of the school are you financially? What are you doing to support the campaign?

Wow. That says a lot about how community member$ are valued. You can't complain unless you contribute. Nice.

No, that’s not what was said or suggested. The point is that pp is trying to pigeonhole parents in a way that does not reflect reality. To pp, it is not possible for a parent to like the school and be supportive of it, and to also acknowledge where and how school could do a lot better than it does. To pp, any parent who finds fault in the school is a complainer who is “throwing a tantrum.” And the reality is very different.

Last time. What is your list of these areas and the fact base that demonstrated the school
could do better, and how?
You don’t respond, you are throwing a tantrum. It’s as simple as that. And really tedious.

There’s no point engaging in a detailed discussion with you on a public message board about specific facts. As you or others have said, DCUM is not the place to get into those details, they should be discussed with school leadership. As they have been. Without “throwing a tantrum.”

To deny that issues exist though is delusional. I understand that you can’t get the stars out of your eyes because your precious little one has the great fortune of attending the school of the Clintons, Bidens and Obamas. But people who see the school as it is aren’t complainers or throwing a tantrum just because you say they are.

So why do you throw a tantrum every 10 days on average? It’s amusing but also really harmful in the dumbest of ways

I’m not OP. I just think it is ridiculous how you and others respond to people who raise legitimate issues about the school on this message board. There are issues at the school, and it is delusional to insist that there are none.

Why not raise legitimate issues with the school directly? It would be a lot more effective.

It’s a perennial wonder!

Deflecting again when met with substance. And the Latin usage is correct.

Further, I am not the same pp as you keep assuming.

On the other hand, here are some examples of name calling and insults:

"I swear. You are a relentless malcontent."

"OP is pathetic and with a massive chip on their (her?) shoulder. Starts in your fellow parents’ eyes? You poor poor loser."

"you mouthbreathed this thread"

"put the wine and the keyboard away"

"You’re off your rocker lady"

Who says they have not been? In this case the issue was raised with the school directly.

Anyone can google proper Latin but your analysis is flawed.

Aren’t you glad you’ve helped keep it going for nine pages?

Actually yes. Helpful to unpack.

Can't believe I read through this thread. Sidwell parents--can't you all just have a civil discourse for once?!
