I knew you couldn’t help yourself! You got an apology and a refund. What more do you want and how is the dcum a place to get it?

Strange response. New poster to this thread, as I said. There is nothing wrong with wanting the school to be better administratively and to discussing issues on a public forum. That does not mean I have not also discussed my views with leaders at the school directly. I am also a major donor to the school and am not a member of any little clique. Sorry that I don’t fit into your narrative. There are many others like me as well.[/quote]

Stop donating if you are that unhappy. Find a school that works better for you.[/quote]

It is so strange that you think it works like this. Either "find a new school" or shut up and be happy? Stop donating why? I like the school and I also encourage them to do and be better. Which they know and admit that they can.

You must lead a very sad, mouse-like existence. Sorry for you.[/quote]

I lead a very happy and content existence. Trying to make someone who disagrees with you look sad has just the opposite effect. I know this js how it works. Throwing a tantrum under the guise of "encouraging them to do better" is very transparent. [/quote]

Who is throwing a tantrum? Not me, I promise you.

Tell me, where in the community do you fit in? How supportive of the school are you financially? What are you doing to support the campaign?[/quote]

Wow.  That says a lot about how community member$ are valued.  You can't complain unless you contribute.  Nice.[/quote]

No, that’s not what was said or suggested. The point is that pp is trying to pigeonhole parents in a way that does not reflect reality. To pp, it is not possible for a parent to like the school and be supportive of it, and to also acknowledge where and how school could do a lot better than it does. To pp, any parent who finds fault in the school is a complainer who is “throwing a tantrum.” And the reality is very different.[/quote]

Last time. What is your list of these areas and the fact base that demonstrated the school
could do better, and how? 
You don’t respond, you are throwing a tantrum. It’s as simple as that. And really tedious.[/quote]

There’s no point engaging in a detailed discussion with you on a public message board about specific facts. As you or others have said, DCUM is not the place to get into those details, they should be discussed with school leadership. As they have been. Without “throwing a tantrum.”

To deny that issues exist though is delusional. I understand that you can’t get the stars out of your eyes because your precious little one has the great fortune of attending the school of the Clintons, Bidens and Obamas. But people who see the school as it is aren’t complainers or throwing a tantrum just because you say they are.[/quote]

You don’t have *specific facts* or you would have breathlessly run here to share. 🏃‍♀️ 
[/quote]

No, I’m not OP and so I wouldn’t share them here. If I did share the facts here, they would (probably properly) be deleted by the moderator.[/quote]

Come on girl, you don’t have any facts.[/quote]
