pass the pipe this way, please. according to folks on this thread, the north feels they are equally entitled maybe more.... puff,puff, pass DrD said that some neighborhoods may feel entitled to go to the closest school.. Since Stonebridge is moving from their closest school to their new closest school... maybe I'm all upside down about this.. Yes.. DrD was slamming HIS OWN neighbors! |

Get a clue Steckdad. Certain SB members openly have commented that TG has "issues and need to get a grip." The problem is that the SB talks too much when alone to those they think are their friends...but then these same people have friends and on and on and on. They need to learn to stop running their mouths!!!  [/color] the above in red would be what we call hearsay......[/quote] I will once again say "walk a mile (or 6) in my shoes". Here's an experiment: The next time you meet someone new from the WV/MV area (heck even the NV area outside WE & TG) tell them you live in TG or WE. Gage their reaction. I think you will find it to be interesting and slightly comical. After you do this a couple times, come back and report your findings. I think you might have a different view. |

Steckdad, I sure hope you are trying to humor me with your last post. I'm kinda chuckling with the Stonebridge comment... You have a good sense of humor. Trust me, the entitlement shoe doesn't fit me (nor, my neighbors). Yet, I felt it was directed at not only me but my community. I wasn't the only one that felt that way. I'm pretty sure there were 1,200 other homes that felt it was an undeserved "slam". I've wondered, after hearing that comment from Daeschner, who is more prejudiced? Who made an assumption prior to commentary? Who prejudged people? To start an emotionally charged boundary meeting with that? Pretty darn stupid. Wouldn't a certain amount of empathy towards the situation have gone so much further? Nobody in the corporate world, that I've ever known, would be so bold to begin a meeting with such a negative statement. Who in their right mind would do that? And, why? one question macy...why do you think DR D. made that comment? was it from the weeks worth of emails he read before the boundry meeting?(not prior to commentary!) what is your take? and to answer your question. I think Dr. D has no filter and says what he feels.(which I like) If he showed empathy then folks would have slammed him for glad handing certain neighborhoods... Not sure who you work for, but that was a softball compared to what I have witnessed...... |

The Dr. would have been sliced immediately from the payroll for making such a statement. Yes, it was a softball, but in my industry even a "softball" with that implication without a target would not be tolerated. Who was he "lobbing" that insult at? I think I know. Don't you? Regardless, it was a really stupid comment. What was his point? To insult people? If so, mission accomplished. In his position, I would think he should be willing and able to listed to STUPID comments in regards to an emotional issue such as a boundary change. Empathy goes a long way. Insulting people that are already upset incites emotion. Duh.... He pissed off alot of people. Was that smart? |

The SB / Admin perpetuated the negativity shown to my area and frankly appeared to encourage it by their behavior. This from the people who, more than anyone else, are expected to set the example in this district. IMO they HAVE set the example and it isn't a good one. I will agree with your comment on labeling whole neighborhoods but unfortunately, here I sit. If you try my experiment you will see just how many "ignorant" people there are. |

It should. These people should be, at the very least, accountable for their actions. Time for them to "man up". |

IMO there is nothing wrong with telling it like it is. Folks here on the board don't think twice about slamming dr. d or the SB, or anyone else that is not "on board" with their opinions. Maybe just maybe the correspondence he received prior to and during the boundary meeting were a little over the top? |

Nah, that doesn't happen at Bunco, and wives don't talk to their husbands, and neighborhood gossip doesn't exist in Naperville or Aurora. That's crazy talk. |
