[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Complete outsider here, but tired of all of the Sela BS. Who the hell cares if Sela or Timbuktu wants to be in the DCI? Why is it so awful for them to desire this. Isn't it a high school for language learners? Won't they need one? Duh! If outside kids don't care about Hebrew, don't chose to study it in their schedules. Simple. Leave Sela alone (remember that guy who cried over Britney bashing?) Leave. Sela. Alone![/quote]

You're totally right!  Just one thing though... in order to leave Sela alone, [b]Sela folks need to not come into every.DCI.thread. talking about being part of DCI.[/b]  It's totally understandable Sela wants to join, understandable DCI wants lots of languages.  Can we be done then?  But check the threads, it is ALWAYS a Sela booster who starts the conversation about Sela in DCI.  Some of us are just tired of wanting to read about DCI and it always ending up a Sela conversation, so I'm with you, let's leave Sela alone, but hello, can Sela leave DCI threads alone for once too?  [/quote]

You are making the assumption that it is Sela parents making those comments.  You know what happens when you [i]assume[/i]...[/quote]

No, actually I am NOT making that assumption.  I am talking about anyone and everyone who comes on DCI threads saying "What a great match Sela will be/would be, this will really fit".  I don't know if they are Sela parents, affiliated with the administration, or just interested parties such as yourself.  But what I do know (because it's here in writing for everyone to see) is that there are people who do this every single time DCI is discussed.  THOSE are the people I'm talking about.  So, take your own advice, stop making assumptions about who I think this is.  Because you know what happens when you assume...  :thumbup:

Re: those Sela boosters who come on every DCI thread, I want to be clear re: my post anyway, that they are totally welcome to that opinion.  Seriously, that is what DCUM is for, expressing opinions.  But it is totally disingenous to then get sad-faced or cry "CODE!" every timesaying that it predictably opens a conversation about whether Hebrew makes sense as a language for DCI.  It doesn't matter if most people actually involved with DCI think every language is a good language - this conversation is happening here, on DCUM, and there are apparently a lot of posters who think it would be a great fit, and a lot who think it is hardly a priority language, and lots (like me) who don't care but would like to be able to read a DCI thread without reading this discussion every time.  Yes, I just added again to that discussion, but this is the first one of these threads where I have said anything about this so since everyone else is weighing in, me too.  This will be it for me on this topic, but I leave with a sincere hope that Sela thinks about how it is represented in these conversations.  For every parent that expresses an opinion in any direction on this, there are many who say nothing but have lasting impressions.  For better or worse, and I'm thinking for many it's worse.[/quote]

No one is [i]making assumptions[/i] about what you mean - it is a direct quote from [i]your[/i] post "Sela folks need to not come into every.DCI.thread. talking about being part of DCI.  It's totally understandable Sela wants to join, understandable DCI wants lots of languages.  Can we be done then?  But check the threads, it is ALWAYS a Sela booster who starts the conversation about Sela in DCI."

Those are [u]your[/u] [u]actual[/u] words.

Yet, here I am: not "Sela folks" not "wanting to join" not a "Sela booster."

Your message is essentially "I don't want to read about Sela, so stop writing about Sela."  I'd like to propose the more logical alternative "If you don't want to read about Sela, then stop reading about Sela."[/quote]
