You meant, "you should NOT paint the members of this listserv with such
a broad brush." I got that, Wilma. I make beaucoup typos myself.
I have read no discussion on UC-list about West Philadelphia public
education, involving parents or teachers, that pays the slightest
attention to the facts of life both parents and teachers face day in and
day out, save for you and I and maybe Kimm. Vivianne Nachmias and Mary
Goldman are also obvious commentators that every rational neighbor would
want to hear from ... yet the latter two chiefly avoid UC-list now when
commenting, it seems to me.
For the rest ... I read tedious, pompous opinions by childless experts,
wannabee-teacher experts and Penn-is-bad experts. The usual suspects.
More to the point, I don't read any astute insight into my child's
educational future on UC-list, beyond a small circle of people who care
enough about this subject to stick their necks out, to abandon mushy
clichés and to dare to talk about the real life of a public-school
family in University City in 2008.
I'm convinced my neighbors have more to say on this subject than we have
yet heard.

There are many views on this listserve. There are many Penn discussions I have
not participated in.
It would be wrong to suggest this is the anti-Penn listserv only.
