Please move passed that horrible incident....really, there is no need to be so wound up about it so long after it happened. You'll get through this....I promise.

OK, this post is clearly from 14:13. Note her use of ellipses here ("....") is identical to how she used them in her 14:13 post. Is she asking for people to be respectful, or isn't she?

that certainly is an unusual way to use ellipses.

I'm "magnet mom." 14:13 is either a troll, or a really bitter, destructive, PG booster. Either way, she deserves to be ignored....

I do think this discussion is useful, because it's clearly something that's been bugging several of us for a while. I also like to think it could be helpful to the PG booster(s), to help them adjust their advocacy to ways that don't so predictably set other posters off.

15:12 again. Yikes, I just noticed I used ellipses too. But correctly, I wish to point out.

So, are you all now resorting to grammar corrections and teasing?

If you have anything of substance to say please feel free. I am happy to extrapolate on any of my positions on gifted issues. Otherwise, please refrain from acting like a bunch of bitchy high school girls.

15:23/15:25 started it. And you need to look up "extrapolate."

Teachers' Pet Peeves: Check out the last 10 pages.

Extrapolate, interpolate, conjugate, castigate, be irate,
and procreate.

Just not in our classrooms, please, as you have charged us to educate.

I think I hear the principal calling you to her office. You're in big trouble now....

This sort of post never works. Why do people continue to try...?
