[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And then you have the fact that so many people refuse to even acknowledge there is a problem. You’re a hater, troll, racist, all kinds of things for even suggesting there might be something  wrong. String denial is why parents who were struggling were met with a brick wall when they took concerns to admin in the 1st place. So it is still unclear that the school agrees there was a problem. No one gives a debrief of why students left. Not in the open at least. [/quote]

Not a single person, in this thread or the old ones, said the school has no problems. Just that they believe those problems are not insurmountable, and they can see how the school and the Coalition are working on it.

It's not trolling or hating to express realistic concerns. It *is* trolling to use name-calling ("magical thinkers," "head in the sand," "Pollyannas"), doom and gloom defeatism ("nothing is being done," "they will be in the same position next year"), or repeting points that have been discussed to death just to sow doubt ("how did they get in so much debt?" "how will they prevent this from happening again?"). Those posters will claim to care about the school when really they're trying to make families who are staying or new prospective families look stupid. We don't know every poster's connection to the school based on anonymous forum but it's pretty easy to tell the intent of the questions and which questions are genuine.[/quote]
