[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The listserv moderator is controlling, claiming she is limiting the clutter. When in fact all she is add clutter by passing along the administration’s emails. In the past, parents could discuss such incidents freely without this extreme censorship. Another list serv is necessary for this school. [/quote]

I agree that passing along every message from the school was annoying. I can’t imagine that there are many parents who don’t get the Remind messages but are on the PTSA listserv. I do appreciate that they are strict about what gets approved during these incidents, though, because there are always a lot of rumors that end up not being true and don’t help an already tense situation. [/quote]

I agreed with her position not to pass along messages in that period. It’s mostly rumor and unhelpful.

Frankly, it’s a volunteer position. If she said she was only going to pass along whatever messages she could get through from 8pm-9pm, it would be ok. Maybe better. [/quote]

I'm a BCC parent who has been on the list serv for at least 8 years (multiple kids.) I'm hugely supportive of the current modertor's approach; there are too many random messages as it is, and no one needs a flood of baseless speculation during a crisis. Personally I would apply a quota - there are two or three parents who agitate over every single thing that happens. And the people who feel the need to send every single music booster activity or sports annoucement, enough already.[/quote]

Let's be honest here. The music activities posts are dwarved by a certain person posting in all caps about sports :-) He doesn't even have kids at the school anymore, they're all adults. He's been an annoying fixture in local schools for years, I've had the misfortune to note. Please dude, retire already!!!

Now we're getting into his annual mulch mania. Sigh.

I love that guy!  I do have a kid that plays a sport but under any circumstances I love how affirming he is of all sports.  He wants to highlight success irrespective of whether you are in trendy sport or a less actively followed sport.  I love to see examples of students doing great at extra curriculars and getting some public acknowledgement for their hard work.  I love how the boosters invest in all sports.  I think he is miles better than boosters from other schools who only prioritize football and boys basketball.

No, he sucks all the air out of the room. Please consider that there are activities other than sports! You seem to think that extra-curriculars are only comprised of athletics. [/quote]

Maybe other extra-curriculars just need a similar champion sharing their wins on the listserve.  He’s not standing in the way of that.  I love to hear when the choir wins awards, or the robotics team gets invited to nationals, and similar.  We just need more people to share good news not less.[/quote]
