To ALL:
1) Consider parents coming to this board and looking for information about whether or not to send their child.
They see all this bickering, and DO NOT get their questions addressed (ie see days and days of this going on) and look at the back and forth and decide they would not listen to anyone here, to give advice. So maybe they send their child anyway, because they we swayed by the info , and did NOT get any help here.
What is the most important goal for this board? To slam each other? To prove who is right? Or to spare another child and parent the suffering you have already endured? Think about it please
2)Consider, Behind EVERY parent here, is a child or children who DO NOT deserve to have personal information, and negative opinions of their parent, used against that same parent, in a battle with the very programs you are exposing by sharing you and your child's experiences with others.Or for that matter in a personal battle between their parents.
Haven't the children already been through enough? Hello, is anyone listening. Enough already.
3)Consider please, if these issue are so critical, take them up in personal email and phone calls. Whatever you do, DO NOT keep discrediting other or yourself,(this applies to everyone here, including me) and by doing so, risk further consequences to their families and children. Also, consider, that this information is public, and anyone can see it, and use it however they choose. What if it was your family? your child? Would you want those same things said about you, your family, your children? And to find it gets used against you later?
4) Consider, that many many children are still NOT home yet. Many people say they want these places shut down. Then focus on helping others not send their kids, and help others get home, and SUPPORT all of those who have children at home who need their families, and to heal ..not all this grief.
