[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the DCPS parents here who support the K enrollment policies and want to see them better enforced, have you found a productive way outside DCUM to voice your concerns?

It’s only one crazy parent and she’s not even in DCPS. Her story changes depending on the forum she’s posting on.

Honestly it’s just a paranoid idiot at this point. [/quote]

What on earth are you talking about? [/quote]

It’s not a bunch of parents complaining about redshirting, it’s just one crazy cat lady. No amount of sock puppeting is going to change that. In that respect your stupidity is quite unique.

I haven’t met a single parent in real life objecting to other kids being held back.[/quote]

I am not whoever you have been responding to previously and I absolutely object to parents redshirting kids unilaterally in DCPS. With school and/or teacher support? Absolutely. Making the choice unilaterally? No. I don't want DCPSes to become like private schools where the "official" cutoff and the actual cutoff are entirely different. It absolutely disadvantages poor kids who don't have options. And certainly parents shouldn't get two bites at PK lotteries for desirable placements. I would actually guess that the majority of parents have broadly similar views. Certainly they do on this thread. If your takeaway from this thread is that most posters support the NW parents pushing this then you are truly delusional.[/quote]

Yeah, I know the usual sock puppet techniques: new poster, DP, +1, not the poster you replied to, etc. you’re not fooling anyone, crazy cat lady.

I’ve been involved in the PTA, know many parents, not once have I heard anyone even hint at complaining about other kids being held back. Most often people would say something along the lines of “he was immature for his age”, and the response is “parents know their kids better”.

You’re taking this to Internet forums with so much gusto because your comments were not received well in real life, with a mix of confusion and disgust. [/quote]

When talking with someone I know to be volatile and aggressive, I will generally respond in a fairly neutral way regardless of my actual feelings on the matter. Based on the way you've conducted yourself in this thread, I'm guessing the parents you know know better than to say what they might actually think around you.[/quote]

Thats right, in real life you’re neutral because you wouldn’t dare bring the crazy crap your posting here to other parents face. You’re crazy, delusional and a coward to top it off.

At least I volunteered my time to better the community in some way. All you have to offer is the jealous irrational fear that other kids are getting ahead of yours. I bet that’s making you very popular among other parents![/quote]

You’re not doing the parents of Lafayette any favors.  Now the principal has her hackles up, and we’re getting embarrassing press. I have no strong opinion on red shirting, but I do have a strong opinion about your behavior, and it’s 100% been a detriment to the community, prior volunteer service or no.[/quote]
