[quote=Anonymous]Thank you PP as that sums up Toth to a tee.  he often claimed knowledge about the DC school scene -- about St Patricks, about Nysmith, GDS, Sidwell, Maret and especially NCA and STA.  Yet he was only in the DC area for 3 years and all at Beauvoir.  He had no kids of his own and his knowledge was basically gleamed off these boards and who else knows where as he was a loner and not close to very many faculty at Beauvoir.  Moreover, he has a specific writing style where he refers to educational studies and often puts things in quotes which never happened.  But when a person reads something in quotes that is attributed to me, one jumps to a conclusion that I actually said it.  One can easily jump to a conclusion about that post as he writes specifically as he knows STA inside and out and he most certainly did/does not.

Statements such as:

actual cooperative learning as defined by educational research (starting with Johnson and Johnson decades ago) is rarely (if ever) used.

Since he quotes a study and then refers to a much beloved and well regarded head of school (Peter Barrett), a casual reader might believe this therefore to be true.  it seems as if the writer knows about cooperative learning.  The writer claims it is rarely if ever used.  HOW DOES THE WRITER KNOW THAT?  Do they ever say they had a child there?  They visited?  They taught there?  Their family member went there?  No, there is no basis for this writer to make any of these observations.  That's because the guy writing the post is a sick, manipulative bastard.  Can I say that on DCUM?

Well, I have children at the Cathedral schools and can say please do not listen to this pedophile's post.  It is not only dated and old, it is biased and from a very warped mind.  I can prove that this post was from him and I hope that all gentle, readers forgive me for my cussing above and like the PP dismiss his biased observations completely.  If anyone has serious questions about the school, ask away.

And if any chance Eric you are reading this -- they will find you eventually and you will have to face the music.  I hope you spend every minute looking over your shoulder and not knowing when that day will come, because it will come.  You are not smarter than everyone else, despite your belief.[/quote]
