[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They randomly showed up at the school and got turned away?  Sounds like the school did the right thing.  Schools are not tourist attractions.  [/quote]

Ellington should have told this family to come to an open house next year and made a mistake in not returning the call. If the parents wanted a sense of the school -- including a peek inside the building -- there are other ways to do it, such as going to the school's production of about Matthew Shephard which was widely promoted and really good.

It's really not that hard to go online and figure out that schools have specific open house times, and other ways to see inside the school like you suggest going to the play.  It may have been nice for the school to call them back, but I don't think they did anything wrong by ignoring them when the information is easily available elsewhere.  [/quote]

Totally agree. [/quote]
