[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people so mean? And during the middle of the day? I honestly wonder if some people just stay at home all day, hitting refresh, and waiting for opportunities to post snarky comments. Yes, OP may have been a bit impatient, but nothing worth the vitroil he received in response. The reaction to this post underscores why DCUM is getting such a bad reputation...[/quote] DCUM can be over the top, but at the same time it was rude of OP to send her child to a school and pull them out after a day and I feel like she's being overly dramatic. Other people I hear sign up to attend public the day before school starts too which I also find rude. I just feel like OP is sanctimonious about her behavior compared to the school's but don't really find her behavior all that great either. Maybe if I were in her shoes, I'd care it was private and I was paying tuition that they weren't crediting me for, but for public what does it really matter if you've removed your child and they are now at a different school? Would you really be that annoyed that you'd post on a message board to complain about a school system for this? [b]It's a type of defamation. [/b]OP already has some notification from FCPS and her child's already in a different school. Does it really make a difference if they get back to her with a note after a day or several weeks? Also, if she went to open house, OP must know that it's too difficult to give back school supplies. I mean with privates you have to put down a whole $500 to $1000 tuition deposit or more. Why should OP expect school supplies of pens, pencils, and paper to be returned to her? It wouldn't happen in private either. [/quote] -1 OP is looking for advice and/or constructive commentary. We are supposed to be here to help each other, other moms. You have a different agenda. Start your own thread about how perfect your life and your school are. As for the supplies, it may not seem a big deal to you, but if you have no affiliation to a school, do you randomly donate school supplies? Of course not. OP spent time and money on her DC's school supplies, that obviously OP can use at her own school, for her own child. If that was your child, you would be completely incensed and indignant; but probably completely fake about it. You are one of those posters who would rather pile it on than be helpful.[/quote]
