[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a difference between a parent anonymously discussing their kid's scores and a school administrator revealing specifics about the school and class that the children are in. Whether you think it's appropriate or not, based on what I know of Davidson,  I don't think they would. If Feynman doesn't know that, they ought to.[/quote]

I agree.  I also am disturbed about a school administrator posting anonymous positive comments designed to attract applicants on a board meant for parents.  This is especially true for a place like Feynman, where the two school administrators are also the founders and primary operators, and so have a direct financial stake in attracting applications.   It smacks of deceitful advertising.  I know the school had some paid PR person posting puff comments here last year, but at least she had the decency to reveal her association with the school.[/quote]

While I don't agree with your opinion I am intrigued that you are so familiar with the school and administration.  How are you so familiar?  What private school are you affiliated with?

The school is a non-profit.  The founders are also parents of children who attend the school.[/quote]

Are you a Feynman parent, or a Feynman admin posting anonymously again?  Or are you one of the founders claiming to be merely a parent?

As for me, I have absolutely no connection with Feynman.  I am not a disgruntled former employee, or a spurned applicant.  My kids are at another private school that is not a market competitor of Feynman in terms of grade coverage or geography.  So no, I do not have any basis for bias.

I post because I am sick and tired of reading the puffery from Feynman founders, and the obvious sock puppeting.  This has occurred in many threads over many months.  If you're going to try to talk up your school on DCUM, at least have the decency to identify your connection to the school.[/quote]
