[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been going to GDS for 7 years. Not once has a person been drinking a soda and eating popcorn in my class. Nor has anyone, especially in the lower school, drank coffee. The first name thing doesnt go home with me. I dont assume that when ever I meet someone I will call them by there first name, only when I'm told to call someone by their first name. I respect my teachers as much as any kid from any other school, and 3 of my siblings have graduated from ncs/sta. Im graduating this year and to listen to you insult gds and say its ok for kids to listen to music and smoke at gds is extremely disrespectful. You are basing this off rumors that you heard which are not true. Many kids from other schools assume that I go to gds that I'am gay, which I'm not nor is 99% of the school. All my friends who left gds came back, unless they were asked to leave because they werent smart enough (went to schools like Bullis, Burke, Field, Landon), the reason they came back was because at other schools when they ask to meet with a teacher that teacher would laugh, and another reason is because the teachers are so great at what they do and care about the child learning and encourages the students to ask for help. GDS doesnt make a child disrespectful, that would come from the parents and the child[/quote]

I hope whomever wrote this will understand at some point that writing in text speak (no capitalization, typos, run-on sentences) is not conducive to convincing an audience.  (I also doubt that any teachers at places like Bullis, Burke, Landon and Field "laugh[ed]" at students who ask to meet with them.)  Commendable loyalty to GDS, though.[/quote]

I actually think the kid writing comments was helpful, and I admire that neither he/she nor anyone else has commented on your seeming confusion about the use of the word "whomever" instead of "whoever."  Sorry, I couldn't resist after your jumping on a kid's use of text speak.[/quote]
