[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ignoring the "nerd club" troll comment, this is in line with them shutting down the college acceptance pages that every class at every school has been doing for the past decade

It seems like a very hierarchical, control-freak kind of thing to do[/quote]

Oh please. What is all the hubbub about? It’s not that big of a deal— on either end. It’s not control freak. They are minors. I don’t want some high schooler deciding what photos my 14 year old daughter at whatever club event is posted and commented on without some oversight. But I’m not up in arms about the school not having oversight about the pages before. It seems like a reasonable course correction. Of course the school will allow the innocuous school decision IG page to go on. Nothing salacious goes on there and it’s an optional thing to do.

I am confounded by the intense reactions on either side. If we can’t even find common ground on something so meaningless without reading into every single act and declaring it some major wrongdoing on either side, how can we expect our country to ever find its way back to normalcy on a greater scale. We are literally fighting about club IG pages. Do you realize that? This isn’t a board agenda item.  Can we start modeling rational adult behavior and critical thinking and discourse at least on the school community level. Let’s not model this BS to our kids.

Exactly this…but we’ve been disappointed, though not really surprised, by all the pettiness and drama at this school. The other day, we overheard a very young student saying that a certain teacher was going to be fired all because of a curriculum change the parents didn’t like. We figured the child must’ve overheard their parents talking that way. Honestly, the way some of the parents were reacting to that change was almost like a riot.[/quote]
