[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not the source; it’s the information.

That’s the issue.  Everything that’s been ascribed to the “Glasgow Group” is true including Rodney’s comments.

The only issue is the motivation and the impact.

Any mainstream news outlet that would attempt to address this in a measured manner would be excoriated. [/quote]

The Free Beacon stories illustrate a complete lack of awareness about how accreditation functions in independent schools and how schools seek to improve within a small community.

I've worked in this world for more than a decade. I also have an experience that I think will provide a good parallel. My friend runs a restaurant in the DC area. In the first year of the pandemic, she hired a consultant who works with the health department to advise her on how to make her restaurant safer for customers. Now, the health department has authority over whether her restaurant is deemed clean enough to stay open; is it a conflict of interest to hire someone who also worked there to advise on COVID safety?

Accreditation is a process that's designed to help schools improve their ability to meet their mission. It's not punitive. Suggestions for improvement come from all members of the accreditation committee, which is composed of people from other schools. Fundamentally, these suggestions are designed to identify areas where the school is not living up to families' expectations.
