[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I just troll, too....

when I fought like hell this past year to get the school board to change a decision re: our school.  Wrote multiple letters, showed up at meetings, etc.  And believe it or not, they did actually change their original position based on our input.

Thanks for playing this game.

I absolutely believe they did. But not because you posed anonymously on DCUM. Because you became actively involved IRL. There's a huge difference. [/quote]

Not the PP, but isn't that what every single one of us is doing here (including you) - venting our frustrations on an anonymous message board?  As another PP said, why shouldn't we come here vent AND be involved "in real life" in changing policies?  It's so ridiculous to call someone a troll simply because you disagree with their opinion.

As the mom of two GE students who attend a center school, you'd better believe I'm also going to post on this forum whenever I feel like it.  I think AAP parents pay a lot of lip service to the whole "we're all one big happy family/school" mantra, but when it comes to the GE parents discussing their experiences at center schools, the AAP parents love to shoot them down with moronic statements like, "Why are you here?  It's kind of creepy for a non-AAP parent to be "trolling" or posting here".  Kind of exemplifies the whole AAP parent mentality.[/quote]

And it exemplifies the GE parent mentality to say mean things about ES aged kids on an anonymous forum. And to push so hard to push my kids out of what has become their school too. And say they should have to leave, and change schools again.  When they are happy members of their school community and are friends w/ both AAP and GE kids and do extracurriculars with AAP and GE kids. I hate how hostile people are toward a bunch of 8-12 year olds, and that they would have to learn in an environment where some of the adults make it clear that they are not wanted. Fortunately, in my kids Center, the adults (Gen Ed and AAP) act like--- adults. But the DCUM community is just mean. [/quote]

I don't recall anyone saying "mean things" about any of the kids - but the parents who have been calling other parents out as trolls?  They deserve whatever backlash they've created.  If centers are cut, your kids will have a school.  It's called their base school and it's part of your community.  [/quote]
