[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lay off, people. I think I know the OP and she truly is a happy parent at Barnesville. She is not part of a conspiracy in which Barnesville administration is posting on DCUM pretending to be a satisfied parent in hopes of increasing their enrollment.

Everything she has written is true. She just wants to help people be more knowledgeable about different schools that don't get as much mention on these boards.

No conspiracy - just a nice mom trying to be helpful. Really.[/quote]

So what? If she doesn't like the negative comments, then she shouldn't have posted.[/quote]

OP here again.

To the first poster above -- thank you for the kind defense.  Yes, I'm just trying to share information that other parents might find useful, info we wish we had had.

To the second poster -- no worries, I actually agree with you, too.  I fully understood when I posted that others can post whatever they like in response, and I'm untroubled by disagreement with anything I've written. In fact, I encourage people to post their own thoughts about these schools, even if they disagree with mine.  The goal is just to acquaint parents with options and with others' experiences with them.

Though I will admit -- I actually did laugh out loud when I read a few of the posts in response, the ones pointing somberly to an FB link to this thread as concerning evidence of a dark conspiracy, and a few others that were apparently implying that school PR reps were going through the trouble of inventing a fake parent persona, complete with a fake child educational profile, fake information about family circumstances, and inventing imaginary visits to other schools, all of this effort being for the purpose of duping readers into checking out their program on false pretenses.  Yes, so much more plausible than that a parent might actually be posting information they hoped would be of use to other parents.  Fortunately, the dastardly plot has been exposed by those meddling kids, who are now off in the Mystery Machine to crack another case.

If one is going to post in a public forum as I have, one can't be too concerned about those folks except to laugh over the glorious diversity of human nature.  Fortunately the majority of responses to this thread are indicative that there actually is a desire to share and receive information about and impressions of these schools, more than justifying the investment of my time in putting up my original post.
