Obviously if we felt happy and comfortable with the school and administration we would be talking about it with them.
1. Its not about college list
2. Its not about other parents or social drama
3. It is about a bigger issue with our child that any of you would be upset about.

That's it. I'm out, but I thank those of you who were helpful and who reminded me that yes it's about the kids and as long as they are ok we need to suck it up and pay for a few more years bc leaving may create bigger problems for our kid.

It’s not annoying that you won’t give the juicy details (which are probably not juicy at all). I think people care that you’re time-wasting and lashing out. It feels manipulative. I have something to tell you oh but I can’t tell you is a toxic person trait and attention seeking behavior. There are many ways to say it without identifying your child. None of my business but I suggest a professional therapist, it sounds like the family could use help (not being facetious).

Is Op forcing you to read and respond and waste your time(!)? Really?

Good move, but why don’t you ask mod to remove the thread since you took a big stinking dump on my school in the headline with no evidence whatsoever?

I'm not OP and they never listed the school or gave any identifying information. The rest of you are just speculating.

Alright. Remove the thread because you maligned all three schools in very harsh language and all caps without providing a shred of evidence

You can tell which school from the headline? You’re psychic!

Several PPs can tell from the fact that she’s posted previously and has a peculiar way of writing and a weird iPhone self correct. Also there’s 1/3 chance isn’t there? So probably bang on

Really, because whenever there is a Big 3 debate - suddenly 5-7 schools come up

You know the school. Just look up her previous posts

How do you look at an anonymous poster's previous posts?

I don’t know. How do you do an anonymous petition? Ask the OP.

Let me ask this: OP have you ever “signed” an anonymous school petition?

Yep, because the assumption and value proposition of the website is that someone seeking help in all caps needs it and is not being a manipulative maligner

PP - I think you have a problem and may want to take a time-out to reflect on who you are. Honestly.

So you aren’t being held down and forced to read DCUM? That’s a relief.

School matters. Each of the Big 3 have specific parent hang ups. So if it’s not generic and you “HATE” your particular Big 3, I would guess and advise differently. If you think GDS is a Big 3, that’s specific too.

OP - it is not unreasonable to feel the way you do and I don't know why others are reading this as an indictment of the Big 3 - do you guys really believe that there is no possible universe where NO parent or child could have any experience that made them unhappy at the school?

We didn't love our school by the time our last child went through our school due to some incidents with our older kids, but our child was happy, had friends there, and end of the day we decided to let them stay the course. Just dialed back on engaging with the things I found irritating, focused on the things I did like, and counted down the days. It is hard if you no longer drink the coolaid since so many others define themselves as xyz parents - but doable and you need to try to just minimize the issues and not dwell on it or you will just get more irritated cutting the checks

Agreed.
