[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just when I thought this thread couldn’t get any more insane. [/quote]

This thread is completely bonkers[/quote]

It's an insane thread. There is no doubt in my mind that Avra Siegel is here, she's responsible for many of the more insane comments, and she is absolutely loving the discussion. It's feeding her.

We all need to stop feeding her, for her own sake.[/quote]

Everyone on here comes across as incredibly insecure. Losing their minds at the hint of someone else having a perceived “advantage” - be confident in yourself and your own family and take a chill pill.[/quote]

Some of us are not bothered by the perceived "advantage" of redshirting, we're just exasperated by these families who are mad about having to follow the same rules as everyone else. It sounds like if a family at a Title 1 school in SE tried to do what these Lafayette families have been doing, it would not have been allowed. That seems wrong. I think that's the main reason people hate the Lafayette families.

If this were just more broadly about redshirting I think you'd see a lot more sympathy, but this is really about whether or not this little group of families at this one school (that happens to be very rich and white compared to the rest of the city) should have to follow the same rules as everyone else. The answer is yes, obviously. Even if the rule sucks. Lots of rules suck.[/quote]

y'all sound completely unhinged. i dont give a shit about redshirting. maybe it will help kids who are very immature or painfully shy or whatever. but the idea that it's going to make your kid smarter and more athletic and more charming and more artistic and they'll be taller and more good looking and all their jokes will be funnier. do you not know how crazy you sound?[/quote]
