[Interesting Times]

I should mention that I formulated my opinion about Treece AFTER I spoke with the student. But then, that's the way I do things. If you don't need all the facts before you make up your mind, that's your business. ;^)

Let's just review the bidding, shall we?

At post #53, you said "I think it's far more likely that most of the students love him, and the school will be proud to stand up for his rights."

Then, at #64, you posted positive quotes from Treece's students, taken from a Times Argus article.

At #69 you claimed Treece was "teaching them to think for themselves."

At #72 you opined that Treece's students "must be having a lot of fun, and learning a lot, too."

Then, at #126, you suddenly remembered calling the school earlier in the morning -- something you hadn't thought to mention during all the previous posts in which you praised the excellent qualities of Treece. Also noteworthy is your use of terms like "far more likely" and "must be having" -- indicating that you had no personal knowledge of the situation at that time.

I see little reason to believe you ever spoke with a student, or for that matter, to believe anything else you have to say.

I only spoke with one student, who expressed to me his opinion about the opinion of the other students.
