[quote=Anonymous][quote][quote=Anonymous]On a personal note, I think your name calling of PP was unwarranted and you should apologize.  We're just trying to have a helpful discussion, even if opinions differ, and that does not help.  In fact it hurts your otherwise insightful post.[/quote]

For the second time, that poster was annoying because they repeated the same thing like it was new.  It is rude to tell someone they are wrong and say the same thing.  The post said nothing and was only made so the poster could pretend to be smart. It reminded me of being in a work meeting with someone saying the obvious, counselor know where kids apply because they do recommendations and they encourage kids to inform about decisions. So they have the data???  What about that makes any sense.  I encourage people to give me a million dollars so I have a million dollars??  I do not think the statement added any value to the conversation except for the poster to have an ego boost.  I thought the poster was an idiot and I am not insecure or heartless.  If you want to treat Naviance like it's the bible please do.  Just remember when admission decisions come out and do not be surprised if it's not accurate for your kid. This happens[b] every year. [/b] Why? because the data set may not be as accurate as you think.[/quote][/quote]

You called the person names, and that is childish and uncalled for.  If that's who you want to be, fine. I think you can be better.

Also, as I posted above, if the Naviance data is not accurate and not helpful, it's because people don't participate to make it useful.  So if your accusation is correct it is because of people like you.  At our school, everyone contributes, including our many athletes and URMs.  We're in this process together as a community.  It works.  Try it.[/quote]
