[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's no reason to do it publically or to include the press. Just do it quietly and let the new seep out slowly over time.

Outsiders do care because they were those kids were children who made mistakes which resulted in their lives being ripped apart. As if that punishment were not bad enough, they also have had to live with the injustice that several of their classmates were allowed to graduate and remain in good standing while those who were expelled remain outcasts.

There is no logical reason why these individual should for the rest of their lives suffer the stigma of being outcasts when the school for complicated reasons chose to punish some students more harshly than others.

Until this unfortunate page in Landon's history is resolved it will never be forgotten. [b]It will forever frighten prospective students away until everyone applying for acceptance can be assured that the ol' boy system at the school has been dismantled[/b] and all students will be treated equally in the future.

A new Board of Directors has recently been elected. They can begin anew by quietly correcting this mistake made by an earlier generation of Directors. [/quote]

Most people applying have little understanding or knowledge as to who got expelled and why. The current students would have no idea who you are talking about.  All three school headmaster's are new as well as Mr. Armstrong.

Unfortunately, life is not fair. People are not always treated equally. I also agree with the PP that you seem way to invested to be an innocent bystander. At least be honest and say why you care about this so much.

Personally, if this happened to my son, I coudl care less that the school would "forgive" me. They all seemed to have moved on with life. Perhaps you should as well.[/quote]
