[quote=Anonymous]The weird, defensive response to criticism pops up sometimes in Inspired Teaching threads, too. My theory is that there's some sort of curse on the NE location shared with Potomac Lighthouse (home to YY for many years and IT for one). In all seriousness, the question of how to react to criticism of one's school is really tricky. I've read some criticisms of the school that are so incendiary and so far from my own experience that they make my blood start to boil. But it seems that any response, even a reasonable "well, that may be your experience, but in my child's classroom I've seen..." draws even more anger against the school. So I try to sit out these debates (as, I think, have others--December-May was a very light season for YY post), but sometimes I slip, imagining that I can somehow convince folks that the school really is a good place.
