[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I swear to God - why are you are trying to start a fight when there isn't one?  Seriously, can you enlighten us as to why you care so much about disparaging the program?  Not buying it for a second that you just want to give "hope" to the people that are on the waitlist.

And it IS disparaging, I guess you're a "traditionalist-phile" or, more likely an "immersion-phile" - but please, don't think I'm being condescending when I use the term.  Just stating my opinion...[/quote]

No one disparaged it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I said it wasn't for me. I didn't pick a fight. Someone replied defensively to something for which there was no reason to be defensive. At which point I admittedly decided to have a little fun. The term Reggio-phile (for which I feel strongly I should be paid a royalty every time it is used on DCUM) wasn't disparaging, it was word play, cause I'm the kind of person that likes to play with language.  But let's explore why you feel that's disparaging, shall we?  If I say nice things about the Washington Capitals and you accuse me of being a Capital-phile or a Caps lover, you'd be right. And if I got defensive about that then the issue might not be your use of language, but rather the sincerity of my level of commitment to the team.  I am a traditionalist, BTW. As I said, I'm not sold on Reggio or Montessori beyond K.  Call me a "Traditional-phile", I'll own it. It's an accurate description of the world view to which I subscribe. [/quote]

Oh, so sorry PP - I see now that I was missing the entire "fun" quotient of your postings all along here, Gosh I can be uptight sometimes!  I mean it's not like you talked gravely of the "serious CONCERNS" you have about the educational model at the school.  It's not as if you were just explaining for everyone (whose opinion you could care less about BTW) why the curriculum isn't right for you (when you've had what?  A TOUR?)  -- but no one else should take your opinion into account here, you were just highlighting yur lack of adoration for the school -- My bad!  You're really just a bundle of laughs at heart!  Look forward to more giggles from your future posts!!!   :D [/quote]
