+1 This is your chance to show Janet that your kids are better than her kids. Janet is such a B.

This is awful. I only let my 8th grade daughter hang out with kids who are on principal’s list (maybe honor roll, if their parents are rich). Now I lost this datapoint and need to run on self reporting.

Wow. We chose a different Alexandria parochial over St. Mary’s. I’m so glad we did after reading the latest threads. There are many more INSUFFERABLE parents there than I anticipated.

No, it’s really just that one.

Yep — imagine a school where parents call in agitating and demanding that the school cease publicizing honor roll bc their snowflakes aren’t on it and would have their feelings hurt? And the school actually giving in to those parents?

Oh you have to be kidding me!

Did that actually happen?

DP. I highly doubt it. That’s what the OP wants to believe happened because it gives her a reason to lash out.

OP, have you reached out to the school yet? Just tell them to send a newsletter to the school community so you get the credit you need. Insulting other parents and children on DCUM isn’t solving your problem and it isn’t making you feel any better.

And congratulations on your honor roll designation. Maybe that helps.

Sure — they just changed years of tradition and policy randomly, for no reason and without any prodding by parents (who are so hands off and disengaged and un-opinionated around here). If you believe that, I have a bridge in Miami to sell you.

The comments here reveal the hostility of a small but vocal minority of whiners toward celebrating and acknowledging SUCCESS, bc their kids aren’t “included.” Same ones who likely bombarded the asst. principal with calls and emails demanding that honor roll not be publicity disclosed, lest snowflakes get their feelings hurt. Don’t blame her for leaving.

All I hear is people “likely” called the principal to end these awards. Does anybody know for sure? Is it possible it was just a scheduling oversight at a busy time of year?

If OP wants it fixed, then fix it. Stop complaining and take action. Insulting others’ kids on an anonymous forum isn’t productive. I can’t imagine OP feels any better for doing so.

Why not put the pictures of each honor roll recipient on two huge tv screens in the lobby, like they do for “student of the month”?

I guess it’s ok to publicly celebrate “student of the month” bc unlike honor roll, that designation is entirely subjective and can be given to students who need a “little confidence boost” and/or to children of big donors/favored parents.

Yeah, late June is super busy at the school. Just crazy, insanely busy. Lots of things likely fall through the cracks around that time — especially “little” things like tracking and acknowledging academic performance.

So this is you: “I’m sorry your snow flake fell short and feels excluded. Boo hoo.”

Does this reflect the school’s culture and values or just yours?
