cage sage - you compliment those that agree with you and rip those with independent thoughts, you really are not monitoring a forum you are just a combative poster like the rest, just not anonymous, you should be writing a blog not posting on your own forum. Reading all this I realize that I am fortunate to be in a school district where the coach works tirelessly for his kids to get to the correct schools, and not the All-Aamericans but all the kids.
Rip those with alternative thoughts? No, we welcome those views. If we didn't value the diversity of opinion, we would have just deleted the post.
Offer detailed facts to back our views in contrasting thought? Absolutely. This position is certainly not combative.
This thread is clearly marked as an editorial column ("Sage Advice") which is one reason why we have been more active in the discussion than usual. Effectively, this thread is a "blog" (for want of a better term) within the message board itself.
Thank you for contributing your thoughts on the topic.
