[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a current parent whose family is staying. I was introduced to DCUM and the SSFS forums about a year ago when the HOS left. At times I find posts on the various SSFS forums comical but only in a cynical way.  Mostly, I find it all to be a distressing reminder of how hyper politicized our society has become and how social media such as this solves no problems and only fuels division. I’m dismayed by the lack of civility. I’m dismayed that seemingly educated people can’t distinguish between fact and speculation.  I’m dismayed at how easily and perhaps unknowingly people overgeneralize their personal narrative to a larger population – how we unwittingly communicate as propagandists.

In response to all this I have just two things to contribute that are personal to me, for what it’s worth:

First, stop hard-selling your take on SSFS.  We already live in a world where it’s impossible to avoid advertising. Live your truth and whatever decision you make about where to send your kid(s) to school is the right answer...for you.

Second, regardless of your personal experience with SSFS, I believe that when you see through the melodrama of the last few years, something authentic happens on the SSFS campus.

I wish everyone a peaceful and joyful summer!
