To your analogy, in this case, A and B are part of the same situation and same conversation, and in fact B is a consequence of A, and as such I'm talking about both A and B, but the other posters don't want to acknowledge A let alone admit B was a consequence of it.  That's pretty disingenuous and intellectually dishonest as far as I'm concerned.[/quote]

When your position is, "We should talk about the things I want to talk about, because my priorities are the correct ones, and if you don't agree, you're disingenuous and intellectually dishonest" -- that doesn't leave much room for further discussion.[/quote]

You have that backwards.  I'm the one talking about the full story - the student AND the school.  You are the one who only wants to talk about the school, who like the disingenuous reporters didn't want to acknowledge, let alone talk about the problems with the student.

There isn't much room for discussion when you only want to talk about half of the story rather than talking about the whole story.  How can you even begin to weigh, let alone talk priorities when you are only looking at half of the story, and when there is only one thing to weigh in pretense that it lives in a vacuum, as opposed to the rest of the things that should be weighed in context?  How is that not disingenuous?

Sorry if that inconveniences you but that is reality, life is complex whether you like it or not.[/quote]
