Seeing all the FA people come out in arms is hilarious! |
This is what I've been thinking through this whole argument! |
Your parents did a really poor job with you. I hope you aren't this cruel in real life. Your ugliness in astounding. |
don't feed the troll. |
Just because I'm a pro-FA poster doesn't mean I'm on FA. In fact, I pay full fair for three kids. This comes down to values. There are jealous, oddly mean-spirited people on one side who clearly obsess about FA, and there are others, like me who don't give it any thought. And who honestly don't think there is any thing wrong with someone on FA criticizing any aspect of the school. That thought has never occurred to me. I hope some of you are trolls. If you are, i totally respect your sense of humor because you got me going. If you really do think that people on FA shouldn't be allowed to criticize a school, or think it is rude, or a sign of ingratitude, well, I think you are a f*&king loser. I would not want walk through the world in your jealous, suspicious, mean-spirited shoes. You are like the wicked step-mother who worries that Cinderella will one day usurp your ugly duckling daughters. |
I was going to say that I bet a good number of the pro-FA posters are not on FA but simply have a heart. |
Yawn. |
This is a common tactic of the right. Make ridiculous, offensive statements and when get called upon it, act as if the aggrieved party is the REAL trouble-maker. Own your shit. This perspective is offensive and is rightfully denounced. To take this approach is to be intellectually dishonest, disingenuous, and ultimately reveals the weakness of your argument, since you can't respond adequately to substantive criticism. |
I think the poster wishes she was on FA. Then she would have more money to spend on days at the spa. |
I knew several people on FA at my DC's school who were very careful not to complain publicly about anything...they didn't want to risk their aid in a tough economy and I don't blame them. |

Haven't checked this in days, as I hoped this poster's head would have imploded from sheer vacuousness...how could it not? Does she not get that being on FA doesn't make you a guest, since that basically implies that if you pay, you what? Own it? Have a right to be there? What? ![]() What a moron. (yes, I know, not polite. Ms. Manners will be after me now.) |
That is very unfortunate that the families feel that way. Says something about the culture at the school. |
First, talking money while I grew up was considered vulgar. I wish it was true today. Sadly, people attempt to flaunt it in DC for whatever their personal reasons. Many families at my kids' schools flaunt luxurious vacations to other continents, cell phones, expensive jewelry, club memberships, equestrian pursuits, designer clothes & live-in nannies. Some of those are on FA. In moments of weakness, I am very resentful of all parents' decisions to flaunt these luxuries in front of those who can't afford them. My kids are instructed to give to those who have less. They have asked me how come some people who have less actually have more than they do. I tell them MYOB. |
Ha! Thanks for the response (positive or negative)...I was really hanging out there! Just having fun... |
