[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have described the Barnesville school, which we attend and love, if you can handle the drive.  The drive is against rush hour and actually very pleasant, we've found.

Challenging academically and nurturing socially -- that's Barnesville in a nutshell.[/quote]

Every post lately in the private school board and the special needs board  you are posting about barnesville. [b]Begining to think you are trying to do PR for the school. Enough![/b][/quote]

Why is this any different from someone at NCS posting constantly about how much they love their child's school?  Or Sidwell?  Unless you can demonstrate that this is the AD or someone posting on behalf of the school, why can posters with kids at more well-known or so-called more prestigious schools sing the praises of their schools, but this person can't?

New poster bringing awareness to another private that they personally love and might not be on the radar of parents.

Thank you.

Just for clarity, we're new parents at the Barnesville school, and we don't do PR.  Last year we were in the midst of a very stressful school decision for about six months, and it took over our lives with worry and uncertainty.

When we finally landed at a great school, we observed to each other that we wish someone had put the school on our radar screen a long time before.  Because of where we live, we constantly heard of the same schools -- Norwood, Green Acres, etc. In retrospect we wish other schools (yes, Barnesville) had been mentioned to us, so we resolved to help with that info if any other parents in the same situation this year that we were last year.

I've lurked on these boards for a while so I know there are all personality types here.  And I expected that if I did a few posts praising our school, as I did last night, someone would seize the opportunity to object.  But sorry, my posts weren't aimed at the cynic, they were aimed at the parents who might be facing a similar situation to our recent one.  I figure that in a forum with thousands of posts, people ought to be able to skip over 4-5 if they're not interested, without telling others to shut up, but hey, there's a controller in every crowd, I guess.
