s/o As for the "highly intelligent parent community", that is really not an important factor at all.

Which means you are the same poster who suggested it would be much better to make a decision regarding your child's education based on the rantings of posters on an anonymous forum then to actually go to the school and talk to parents and teachers eye to eye, watch the children at play, get a feel for the environment and make your own determination.

Apparently, your reading comprehension skills are lacking.

The OP was looking for parents who were unsatisfied with IT. Someone, you perhaps, suggested they go to Family Fun Day. I doubt she will find unhappy parents at Family Fun Day. Whether she will find them on anonymous message board, I can't say. But I certainly didn't see any "rantings" on that thread. None here either, except, of course, from you.

Do us both a favor and dial back your outrage.

NP here. I might be the person who suggested going to Family Fun Day (I know I suggested to somebody that they might get a feel for a school by going to some sort of community event).

In any case, while it's true she is more likely to meet satisfied parents at "Family Fun Day" (and the same goes for any other school) I don't think that means the effort isn't worthwhile. Even in speaking to happy parents, one can still take a measure of what that family particularly likes, what they might improve, what their background is, what their expectations are, etc. Are they likely to be biased? Sure, but so is anybody. At least those parents will own up to their biases, unlike anonymous ranters on teh internets.
