[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s clear that some Machine staff members are present here. Please take the feedback seriously and work toward better communication with UMD, and reconsider the timing of the April 10 staff planning meeting.

If anonymous discussion forums are uncomfortable, you might consider asking families to evaluate their experience at the end of the season. I’m confident you’ll hear many things people love about Machine, as well as areas that could benefit from further consideration and improvement.

And to those who simply tell people to find another team if they’re unhappy—this feels similar to the mindset of telling someone who doesn’t like something about their country to just move somewhere else. Feedback is how communities improve, and it shouldn’t be dismissed so easily[/quote]

I’m the PP above you and I can assure you I am not a Machine staff member.  Just a parent of multiple Machine swimmers, who has overall been happy with the experience, while also recognizing the team isn’t perfect.

Likening a swim team to the *country* in which someone lives is an absurd comparison.  There are a lot of swim teams in this area.  It’s not that hard to change teams.  This is more like keeping your kids in the same private school for years, while complaining incessantly about it and not switching to one of the many other available options.  [/quote]

So you recognize the team isn’t perfect but don’t want people talking about the imperfect parts. Why? [/quote]
