Funny, she (presumably) reported her own medium piece about a Lululemon racist incident that wasn’t

We read it for fun (Asian family) and no one thought a frazzled salesperson repeating distancing rules sounded racist. There’s racism for sure and some behaved inexcusably during Covid but this ain’t it

Yet somehow the “professorial lecturer and writer” as it’s signed by her, worked her old school into it. Mind boggles.

To be fair, the incident in Lululemon did in fact sound racist and I have plenty of Chinese-American friends who had similar incidents occur throughout the country, even in California with a high Asian population.

This woman is absolutely obsessed with Sidwell! Meanwhile, Sidwell is living its best life while enjoying the free publicity (good or bad). What does the author hope to achieve with this book?!?

Sucksaki these are the best 22 pages in or about your “novel”

And yet you keep reviving it.

Even this thread about her is too sad and boring to continue, let alone the book

Doublechecked it’s the right person on the link the PP posted and certain it’s true because it has been removed from the Maret website

I think you're confused. The individual's name is still easy to find on the school's website..

I’m not. It’s easy to find. But the link posted upstream leads to a page that’s since been edited to remove the PTA names. More room for the HoS so all good

Actually I think this book has a purpose. Courtesy of the author the book controversy (small and limited as it is) unwittingly waded right into the important discussion of the status of the young lecturers, a living wage at the universities and their changing career paths. I’m talking about the real scholars dedicating their lives to the academia.

Especially in the context of the real housewives of academia, dropping the word adjunct like it’s icky rings deeply dishonorable to me against the backdrop of that national discourse

A fact?

Now that word is in the dictionary and you should look it up.

Whoever wrote this book didn’t have a dictionary or talent

So a regular DCUM Sidwell poster?

And there’s the wit that made the book so compelling. JK. Chip. Shoulder. Ick.

The author is probably off spending the money SFS paid for her book. And taking up all that space in your head, obv.

The “equally exclusive Payet” 😂 didn’t payeth you think?

Verb tense mismatches, incorrect word choices, clunky writing at an early collegiate level…where was her editor? There may be a story here but this “writer” should not quit her day job.

There isn't one sympathetic person here.

Well, this thread has certainly sold more than a few copies for the author. Well done, SFS parents!

Um, most of us borrowed it from the library. It was one of the worst books I've ever read. I'm so embarrassed for this poor lady, especially if her friends and colleagues know who she is (I have no skin in this game, my kids go to public school).

Everyone knows who she is and that’s because she wants it that way

Yup, the news articles should lift a few of these lovely comments and publish them as part of their stories. A real reflection of the community.

Totally agree. That’s the only way this book gets a review 😂
