[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing. I was disappointed to near nothing. Even though our kids were safe, it just would have helped to have heard from the school.[/quote]

Why?  This happened in another state and had nothing to do with the DC area, private schools, etc.  Why does the school have to be the therapist to families?  (If kids at school need help processing, that's different.)[/quote]Wow!  What an unfeeling person you must be.[/quote]

I've wept when I read the news coverage about the tiny victims and the heroic teachers who died trying to save them.  Talked over with friends and colleagues.  But I didn't expect the school to immediately contact me about something receiving wall-to-wall news coverage that is not in the DC area.  This is Upper School -- perhaps those decrying me as an idiot with a heart of stone have young children.

Let's just leave it with the collective wisdom of DCUM regarding me as a flinty-souled cretin, while I in turn see you as hysterical whiners with too much time on your hands and nothing better to do than use a tragedy as a means to criticize your school's administration.

Ta.[/quote][/quote]I think your response to the poster who would have liked to have heard something from her school was harsh and then you harp on others as being whiners and accusing you of having a heart of stone.  No one criticized a school's administration but a general remark of wanting to hear from the school.  Is that so bad?

Based on your harsh criticism of those who responded to your remarks and your self-description of you being a flinty-souled cretin, maybe it's you who has too much time on their hands.  And maybe it was just the way you worded your response that elicited the negative responses you received.

We should ALL be able to grieve and concern in our own way without judgment from ANYONE.[/quote]
