[quote=Anonymous]I am a parent whose kids went to elementary school with the Howertons, when the blog was going full throttle. The kids are really great kids, and the school was one of the most ethnically diverse in the district, but Kristen would find a way to belittle it, which drove me bonkers.  It was a "lottery" school, a magnet not based on academics, but on a strict district-wide lottery. Everyone wanted in, and the wait list was over 100 students for each grade. Even teachers who worked at the school did not have guaranteed spots for their children.  Kristen thought that the teachers and staff talked about her and her blog. She posted some faux-sob story about how supposedly disadvantaged members of the community (newly-arrived immigrants, legal and illegal, from Mexico and Central America) were somehow unaware of the lottery and didn't know how to apply (news flash- they know plenty and aren't nearly as ignorant as she implied) Just post after post of untruths. She also decried the "racism" her sons dealt with- again, no. They were hugely popular and well-liked. Her older son was a little absent minded, like most teens, and got jumped after school by a Hispanic kid for his phone and air pods. But does she talk about her son's inattention? No, it's almost a hate crime.  
You saw Mark on campus all the time, and Kristen would attend performances and events but was very standoffish. They bought a house in the most expensive part of our town and then their marriage imploded.  She was radio-silent for months and months about their relationship. It was such a strange thing to watch unfold in real time, and see what fluff she would drum up on the blog. [/quote]
