[quote=Anonymous]"F" word poster here. Oops. I apologize for the language. I have never heard a Green Acres teacher use that word (though some might in private). I am just a lowly parent, but I am also sure that parents at other schools would NEVER do that.

Okay, okay, let me be serious for one minute. I think it would be a shame if that one word caused you to ignore the point I was making. It seems like it's too easy to say, "Uh-oh, she used the F word, so she loses total credibility," without considering what the point was. New DCUM topic: "Does anybody in YOUR child's school say the F-word?" First post: "Yes, but nobody younger than second grade!"

I admit I should have chosen my words more wisely. I am sorry. But I think grownups, even those who don't use such R-rated language, just have to be capable of forming opinions more carefully than from such a source where everybody posts anonymously and nothing can actually be verified. This is like the TMZ of independent school news but without all the careful reporting. If that one poster really will go to public school just because one harebrained fool (that'd be me) used one naughty word, I wonder if the naughty word might not have been the real problem.

This whole place is a nuthouse. There are people who are earnest and sincere and just want information, but it's a nuthouse still. Does anybody really believe this is a good source of accurate information and not mostly ax-grinding and rumor-mongering? If your children used DCUM as a source in a research paper, you'd be totally cheesed off [chiefly British] at the school. By the way, I hadda look that one up. I usually just say "fucking crazy." :)

I'm actually a nice person. I'm sorry the craziness got to me. Really. I hope you'll still consider what I had to say. And think about where you can get decent information.[/quote]
