Why do you care what choices other parents are making? It’s fear mongering.[/quote] +1 [/quote] It’s “fear mongering” to want to know about the curriculum? This kind of attempts to silence/shame reasonable questions is exactly why parents don’t take a chance on a school. [/quote] Lol, going full censorship. You could also just, call the school?[/quote] Sure, I would call the school. But it’s not like this stuff should be hidden. That makes zero sense. [/quote] You're right. It makes much more sense to take the word of an anonymous person who may or may not have a child at a particular school.[/quote] Why do you have a problem with people talking openly about advanced classes? My kid is going to a different MS and it’s helpful to know what other MS offer, so we can get it too. This is one way to start gathering information. [/quote] I have no problem with it. I just don't know why you would rely on information on a site like this, which clearly skews WOTP or bust rather than talk to the school and get the information from people who are there.[/quote] Straw, meet man. [/quote] Do you know what a strawman is? I'm curious how I fit that title[/quote] “Strawman: 1. an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument.” [/quote] Okay, how did I do that?[/quote] By claiming that all I’m doing is relying on DCUM and creating a false dichotomy between talking to the school and drawing on other sources of information. Nothing in what anyone wrote here precludes also going to the school. You’re trying to discredit posters asking for information about academics by creating the misrepresented proposition that we believe DCUM is the only source of information and that we believe it is an infallible source of information. Great way to distract from the actual discussion! Which is: what kind of challenge/grade-level classes does MacFarland provide?[/quote] I'm not sure, but you will get a much more accurate representation by talking to someone at the school. If you call them or email they will probably even set you up with real live parents! Alternatively, you can continue to get your information from anonymous sources on the internet. Which is a choice.[/quote] Again with the strawman! And I guarantee that you would be one of those parents who would roll their eyes if I asked about academics in your presence. [/quote] You definitely do not know what a Strawman is. What choice am I leaving out here?[/quote] sigh[/quote] The go to for any lost argument. Enjoy your day![/quote] What is exactly is the argument you think you won?[/quote]
