[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's up with this?  Coincidence or troll?  [/quote]

I think it's a troll . First , I don't think that after months of the application process real applicant families would come on DCUM to get help with their final decision. I think that's pretty laughable. Ask their good friends, visit the school again maybe, but come on here and ask" please tell me about the curicculum ? No, I don't believe that is a real parent posting.

Instead , what I think all of these threads are , are basically echo chambers , in which parties with a vested interest( low man on totem pole I. AD's office at say , GDS,posts a thread" now that the parent welcomes are over.... share your gut reaction " and then sock puppets( from a different computer/ IP address) a bunch of negative stereotypes about Beauvoir only"

Enter some actual Beauvoir and GDS parents who the troll then bates along.

There is a fine line between a spontaneous natural discussion like the St Pats thread, and an orchestrated one( such as the count em 3 GDS vs Beauvoir thread) . In real life, there are just not that many people trying to choose between those two schools.

I don't think the posts are genuine, and I am offended by the stereotypes being spread in them . A booster should be able to promote her DC's school or the school which employs her( just my speculation) without bashing another school , posting a fake scenario that only admissions season. Would allow her to hide behind.[/quote]
