So this is how you discuss the issue… Good Work. You prove my point. You must drink coffee. =)

No gossip just telling how I felt about school not letting out earlier. The best comment on here was Diane’s. The reset were just noise.

If you can’t spell the word ‘A non e-mouse’ correctly the rest of your self annointed wizdumb is just that! Your intellectual statement ‘vocal about stuff’ tells me where your thumbs are placed along with the rest of your head. You never had the guts to phone and discuss with school personnel any of these issues and it is for the same reason you can’t identify yourself. Giving you credit to think that none of us ‘know how to discuss issues online’ is one Bad Assumption, mr. Thesarus.
You have presented a boatload of ‘gossip’ for each person that contributed their ‘point of view’. According to you that is ‘how productive comments work’. How do you know we drink coffee?

How do you know I didn’t talk to the school. Bad assumption and you know what they say of assumptions Shelly… =)

Wausa sits on their thumbs so many times when it comes to this stuff. We need to be more vocal!

I will continue to post as anonymous and let all you people think you know who is posting. In the end you just want to gossip and I personally am not into that and would rather have my name out of any conversations as you drink coffee.

None of you know how to discuss these issues online is the point. Give facts to counter my argument like Diane did. That is how productive comments work. Not what you are doing trying to argue about posting anonymous. It’s a waste of time!

Christmas is just around the corner. If this bickering nonsense continues we will have missed sending our letters to Santa. The people’s-court/website has rendered its decision and we all know who won, deal with it!

Dear comment #34,
If you claim that this is your open forum to discuss issues, then please understand that when you strike a nerve, people are going to examine more that just the main point you are trying to make. Anonymous or not, your public comments are open to scrutiny, as are mine.

Many of us like to give the school the benefit of the doubt, and you have not seemed as quick to do as much. I asked you to “leave the school alone” because I don’t feel they deserve the PUBLIC berating. It’s no different that sitting in the cafe and trashing them. It’s not appropriate. If you really feel that strongly about an issue, and you don’t want the entire town to know who you are, then just have the courtesy to call the school officials and tell them personally.

When I first learned of the new school schedule that was to be implememented this year, and had questions and comments, I I called Mr. Marks and had a grown-up discussion with him. My opinions did not need to be plastered all over a website, and in calling him directly, I could stand behind what I said.

Janie is right, your comments lose credibility when they are anonymous.

When two coaches have differing opinions, the last one to use the chalk wins. In this case we have run out of chalk, deal with it, and let’s all get on with the game!

When we knew that it was this kind of flu I think 15 does warrant closing school. Especially when staff members are also sick.

There was a staff member #26 that was in agreement.

Some good information has been brought up on both sides. It has been a good discussion. Diane brought facts to counter my belief that school should have closed earlier. Thank you for the information Diane.

This is how a discussion is suppose to go. Facts for the other side not “NOISE” about posting as anonymous or saying “leave the school alone”.

On the lighter side of all this, and the source is kept in confidence, I received a phone call this evening explaining that the virus has spread to their computer. An actual meltdown of the hard drive via some naughty virus shut their computer down.

If this was a joke I’d remain anonymous, but it is true, exploding at least a couple of households into some short-lived laughter!

On the serious side, and after reading the differing-dialogue from #1-#31, careful considerations were made by our administration to error on the ‘safe and healthy’ side when they did. From the overwhelming number of posts that were made to support this decision I believe it is time to ‘find a different turkey to fry’. Only 5 weeks to Thanksgiving!
