someone said earlier that anderson is against the sib policy. How do parents with a #2 getting in with this policy feel? I would think it is very unprofessional for them to be taking this position, knowing they will bealienating their own familes. what is wrong with these people? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

the only ones making a stink in the administration there are the ones who have had kids go through there and are thus overly invested. Culot is saavier than that, and probably doesn't give a damn. look to the ladies in the office if you really want to see the lack of professionalism and some really big mouths. [ Reply | More

I think she feels they are going to hate her sib kid, and be vocal against the policy, thereby alienating her family. i could see being upset as a parent with an incoming sib [ Reply | More

Donna has made herself famous on UB competely on her own. I hope she still reads it and this actually makes her think. I am dodging volunteer requests at this point because I am tired of it. Sue me. [ Reply | More

another anderson parent and I agree. she makes it seem like her own private kingdom. guess what, I have an incoming sib, and she had better not mention her views about the policy to me. so tired of the sense of entitlement and ownership around there. she makes it sound like her mission in life to guard the purity of the lineage or something. frankly, I have seen first hand a number of kids who were not especially gifted at the school, and I am tired of the reverence required by people like donna for the school's "mission" [ Reply | More

never said anything about my dc being gifted. just that dc was headed to anderson. I was saying that some kids there are very smart, and some are not. just the facts, and nothing to do with me. I am just tired of the attitude about this and the culture [ Reply | More

I am happy to have a decent public school for BOTH dcs. I see no reason to leave. But I do think that the culture is tiring at times, and I agree with some here that donna needs to stop carrying the torch for the school. if sib policy is created by the doe, then administrators at the school should not come out strongly against it.

So, the administration of the school should always follow like happy little sheep, every decision of the DOE? Budget cuts? Curricular inanities? There have been THOUSANDS of bad policies, ridiculous regulations and damaging practices touted by the DOE. Every school that objects MUST stand up and say so. Administrators, teachers, parents and students, when they're old enough to do so. [ Reply | More

Are these baseless rumors, or is this something that you've heard directly from the administration of the school. If so, who? If I remember correctly, didn't the parent coordinator have two children attend the school? [ Reply | More
