[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][u]Why would you ever title your thread "Private School for Dummies"? [/u]You said your kid is an A student, but suffers from anxiety. What is wrong with you that makes you think it's okay to suggest that he's actually stupid? Also, I'm not familiar with any private school in the area that markets itself as one for "dummies".

Maybe you need to look closer to home for the reasons for his anxiety and stress. Sounds like it's more than possible that it has nothing to do with his school...[/quote]

Because there are over a hundred titles in the "[i]X[/i] For Dummies" book series that have sold hundreds of millions of copies, and OP probably figured that anyone who has set foot in a bookstore since 1995 would recognize the conceit.

Dummy.

Thank you, Captain Obvious. I got the reference as most people did. However, I had to call her out for 2 things: 1) A thread title that came across as unnecessarily mean-spirited toward her child and; 2) A piss-poor attempt at humor. As a PP suggested, don't try to be clever when you're simply incapable of it. The same could be said about your post.

I'm moving on from the "dummies" and "poors" on DCUM Private School forum...[/quote]

Well, Captain Obvious, it was pretty clear to everyone else that "for Dummies" referred to herself, not her kid.

But since you are "moving on", you can expend all of your misplaced outrage in a new forum. Lucky them!
