[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps a LAMB parent could simply ask their Principal, in person and face-to-face, whether this rumor is true.

I know LAMB is not famous for good communication from its administration but surely they would respond honestly if the question was put to them directly by a parent?

What makes you think that they would respond openly and honestly?  That has not been their track record.[/quote]

I'm the PP who suggested that a parent could ask their principal. I am also the parent of an admitted student who is deciding how to proceed. I don't really understand these responses saying "haha" etc.

I know that LAMB has a reputation for poor communication but my understanding was that such failures were due to bureaucratic sluggishness or, at worst, reflected an institutional decision to place a low priority on such things. While I don't find either of those explanations very reassuring, they are much better than the idea that the administration deliberately withholds information from its parents/community to advance their own goals.

I would be very interested in whether LAMB parents feel that the administration's communications problems are "merely" due to disinterest/resource limitations, or whether they actually feel like the administration has been dishonest/withholding with them. I guess at some point, what difference does it make if parents aren't getting the information they need, but the distinction is important to me.[/quote]
