Why does my post exhorting parents about the problems in public schools tick you off.

Sounds like a sinner being angry when the Pastor tells his parishioners about their sin. “That just really ticks me off when my pastor calls me a sinner.”

I did look up the school district you mentioned. The articles about the district make it look sound academically, but then you post things about it that bolster my argument.

I was in those failing schools in the 70’s and 80’s. That is why my kids are not in those schools today. I knew then and am reassured daily that I made the right decision.

I’m not ticked off. Thought we were discussing stuff. People are so sensitive here when someone doesn’t agree with them.

Omgosh you did not go there, lol. Looney internet posters.

Sorry honey. Wrong poster. Don’t project your issues.

Hmmm. If you looked up the district then my points were supported. Your’s weren’t. And since your kids aren’t in this district then you really don’t know, do you? And why would you care? I’d ask how my posts supported whatever argument you were making but you make so little sense it’s not worth it. Gosh, are you really this stupid? you pulling this with me? Your post is ridiculous with anyone with a brain. Fortunately, I have one. And I’m internet clueless and if I caught this then oh my, you really are silly.

I also attended school in the 70’s and 80’s. My schools weren’t failing, though. Sucks to be you. I attended 13 years of Catholic school in Philly. Prepared me pretty well for college at Penn State. Probably also helped with attaining my two master degrees. But then again, I ain’t a victim to or for anything.

I have no doubt you made the right decision for your children. As I have. And if you really checked out our high school district, you’d know it too. You made the right decision for your children, I have no doubt about that. You’re a parent. You know what is best for your kids.

Gosh, you people are so sensitive and resort to projection. You got that personal attack thing without making it obvious almost down to a t, to those without a brain. Fortunately, most here have a brain. And the posters (I think I have a fave now) that question anything, get slammed. And one particular poster called you on it without mincing words - that rocks to me :) And another argued so intelligently, I was impressed. And a couple on your side were nice, respectful and intelligent. I respect what they posted and respect them.

Pity you can’t do that.

I’d ask what I posted that pissed you off or what made you think I posted anything negative about the district but I really don’t care enough.

Maybe your education really did suck.
