[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP.  I have nothing against Shepherd Elementary, and I have several friends who live in the neighborhood and enjoy it, but I do really dislike a couple of Shepherd boosters who post on threads like these.  They often make up facts about their own school.neighborhood, and also enjoy trashing other schools/neighborhood.  Because I have friends in Shepherd Park, I know most people in the neighborhood aren't like that.  But these boosters really make Shepherd Park look bad, IMHO.[/quote]

NP and not Shepherd affiliated. I have never seen a Shepherd booster put down another school, it's usually the other way around, any time there is a pro Shepherd thread other, more affluent school posters put Shepherd down. Do you have any links to substantiate this?[/quote]

I'll spend some time pulling up a few examples for you this afternoon. There are lots of them.  I've developed my annoyance at the Shepherd boosters over the course of a few years now.

But as one easy example, take a look at how this thread started.  OP began with a not-so-subtle dig at the JKLM schools, and then doubled-down at 9:48 and 9:56 with further comparisons.  I've got only minor annoyance with boosters who constantly tout their schools, neighborhoods, etc.  But it gets under my skin when that boosterism evolves into a need to attack others.

And one of the Shepherd boosters jabs at me, I'm not a JKLM parent either, so you can't wave off my views by saying I'm just threatened by Shepherd.  My annoyance is pure. :-)[/quote]

This statement is total bull#h*t, what jab was taken by the OP as a jab to JKLM????? The OP just stated how proud he/she was of the support the school was receiving. My god people.....what is wrong with you all. I recall threads boosting about "This is what support looks like as Murch" and I don't feel like thats a jab at other schools. Why not give credit to a group of parents putting their schools academics and support on the map rather than tearing it down. [/quote]
