[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks then for revealing your affiliation, Feynman Admin at 12:44/13:47/15:18.  I do not understand why you did not disclose it in your first post, since I'm sure many people reading the boards would appreciate understanding that relationship when reading your posts.  Indeed, knowing who you are, people might have specific questions for you about the school.  Are other recent posts yours as well?

As an aside, I'm disappointed that you accuse me of "overreacting," since I just noted without comment that you are a Feynman admin posting about the scores of particular students ("two kindergarten students have tested into Davidson with scores significantly above 150").  I do find it a bit surprising, because it's a comment that doesn't seem particularly pertinent to OP's question, and certainly wasn't designed to "correct false information" posted about your school.  But I'm sure you have your reasons.

Are you willing to start a thread that creates an open "town hall" of sorts, so that interested parents can ask you questions about your school?  It might open the door to just the sort of intellectual curiosity that your school seeks to encourage.[/quote]

I am another Feynman parent who has posted recently.  I just want to reiterate that this school is a wonderful place and the founders of the school are genuinely kind people who care deeply and passionately about their mission to educate these kids.  They take this responsibility very seriously and work so hard to give these children their all.

To the quoted poster...Your request for a town hall thread seems like an odd request in light of your posts.  In the spirit of revelation why don't you explain your need to be so passive aggressive.  My feeling is that your interest isn't genuine and you just want another platform to add your "concerns" and "disappointments".  They really don't deserve this type of negative scrutiny.

I will say that the Feynman founders have a wealth of knowledge and have always been happy to share it.  I'm sure they would welcome any questions.  They are having an open house this Sunday and are always willing to have parents observe a class.  I think getting a first hand look at the school is your best bet.
