I found this site several months ago. I was hoping to get some insight as to what goes on there. I have been to the school so much, and because my son has chosen to stay there now that he is 18, I cannot believe the horrer stories are happening ANYMORE. Not to discount that they DID happen in earlier years. I truly believe that to be true during certain years, such as when Art was there. What bothers me is all the ethinic,female genitel, and the other disrespectful, crude & vile comments. Venting is great, but there is no need to use offensive language like I find so often. When my 10 year old is around, I have to hide the screen and tell him there are words from angry people that I would rather not have him see. I was also hoping mabe to find some of my son's friends from elan before he gets home next month. I am not here to hurt or offend anyone, although I will not allow myself to be trashed. Strangers really cannot hurt my feelings because they have no idea who I am. I am a pretty good person, This is who I want and try my best to be. No angry nutcase can bring me down. I think there are only a select few,like pAUL sTjOHN, the person who wrote the title topic about ME. I guess he would rather have seen me leave my homeless son to die on the streets. What a dope! When you are left with few choices, you do what you have to to save the ones you love. It is hard to find a school that will take a kid that insists, he'll run away. So, when I get negetive feedback, I either ignore or reply depending on my attitude at the time. Synister, thank you for believing in me. I am sincere. I can't wait to pick up my son next month :grin: [ This Message was edited by: Llahsram on 2004-07-15 20:05 ]
