[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP Wow, Creative Minds parents come across as really... "committed" is a nice way of putting it.  And committed is a good thing.  Except when it verges on being totally resistent to anything that isn't glowing.[/quote]

You realize that this is insulting a real person right?

You can say negative things about the school, there ARE negative things about the school, there are negative things about all schools.  When you talk about people at the school, anonymously, I feel the need to defend them.  I find it odd that you don't see the problem with that.[/quote]

You must be new to DCUM, welcome!  So this conversation started as "Any popular schools you just are not interested in?" and someone (or a couple someones) said Creative Minds.  Someone asked why they're not interested, and people started answering.  The Principal of every school is yes, a real person.  And this is the DC Public and Charter School forum, where people will talk about schools, what they love, what they don't like, and often the leadership or style or persona of the Principal is a factor or is discussed.  You are free to feel the need to defend a Principal, but it's really unclear why you think Principals are somehow above or immune from discussion of their presentation or perceptions about it.  It matters tremendously, especially in an open house setting, and people are simply reporting their impressions.  Why do you see such a problem with that when it's entirely relevant to this discussion and on this forum?[/quote]

I never understand why people use the "you must be new to DCUM" when something is questioned. After 6 years, it's getting really old. [/quote]

That was giving you the benefit of the doubt.  If you've been here for 6 years, it is that much more puzzling why you are so offended or find so problematic people discussing their perceptions of a Head of School's presentation in a thread about not being interested in popular charters.  No matter what you know/feel/experience from a Principal, if he or she puts someone off (or puts multiple people off), that's their experience and that's why they're not applying, and this is a thread about not applying.  It's understood that your experience is very different, but why do you find it so problematic that this particular Principal is being discussed in this context?[/quote]
