[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not anti the school. I've been so blunt with my issues that I'm pretty sure everyone knows us. I have stopped minding this. And, indeed, Shepherd has many positive qualities, which I have tried to also emphasize. But every time I say anything, the anti-shepherd-poster people chime in. Pretty sure I know who they are too. It's all fine. As you say, different things for different people.

I am, however, slightly annoyed that now any criticism of the school gets thrown at my feet. [/quote]

Fwiw I called you the anti Shepherd poster. I've done it before a few months ago. I'm sure you don't know me. [b]I've never been to the school but I do admire[/b] it. I've always found it fascinating that you come on very Shepherd thread to knock it. I'm not saying you haven't mentioned positives but at some point it gets a little old. Like we get it, you didn't have a good relationship with your ex boyfriend, do you really have to go on every thread on his Facebook to tell people you're anti-your ex and how you're not a fan? Can't you settle with giving your opinion on the school after 10+ times? Eventually, your constant posts says more about you than your ex. I'm trying to say this in the nicest way possible. Not trying to be snarky or bitchy, I promise. Anyway, like I said, I promise you don't know me so don't assume I'm a neighbor.[/quote]

Wait, what? You defend a school you have absolutely no experience with? I am not the OP but AM pulling my child after a horrible experience at the school.  But that is the key here - we've experienced it! Please don't offer an opinion or criticism if you have not a clue what you are talking about.  Hearing it second hand is not the same.[/quote]

Um I didn't give an opinion of the school. Was simply talking to the admitted anti-Shepherd poster. I can spot many in these threads despite not going to schools. The anti MV poster, Montessori light poster, YY is not real English poster, and the why does Hardy still have uniform poster. All I'm saying is that particular poster sounds like a bitter ex girlfriend and her anti rhetoric was getting played out. I think everyone should be entitled to give experiences but time after time to give unsolicited, unrelated info gets old.[/quote]

PP, thanks for sticking up for Shepherd and other schools--some PPs really have an axe to grind.  You're right, it does get old--especially when they don't give specific reasons for "not liking" a school.[/quote]
