Oh it was super passive aggressive but better than me going gangster on him. He replied to a class parents email at 9:30-10pm at night. But a supposed expert and analyzing data and this and that per his linkedin page I was going after that vs. his hysteria and own imbuing his personal opinions and projections into it. Sure enough a bunch of parents, because he sent this to all the parents in the class, were freaking out this morning. I shared how our 3rd grade class had communicated timely, the following morning not at 9pm before the school would even know, and that there was in fact a solid process. I knew his email would have a bunch spazz out and they did, bombing the school with calls at 7am and whatnot. He didn't even consider anything when he threw out how the school doesnt communicate well on this (without any single piece of data or evidence, even anecdotal, just his hunch which is wrong) and this and that. Basically like yelling fire in a theatre. I was offended he didn't wait until morning and simply share "hey my kid caught the COV, he's in your class and since the school just got the info in the evening I wanted to pre-emptively share this with you all". My alternative was to tell him off because it only caused problems. Meanwhile we've got a mess of covid, whole school phsyically back for first time in 1.5yrs and a principal worried about her job over this other real and tangible issue where information has not come out about the perptrator but the news is going "segregation, segregation in Atlanta!"MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 8:49 amI'd have ended your reply after the first paragraph.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 7:51 amThanks.jhu72 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 7:07 amCondensed Matter Physics is a legitimate discipline. Best known for the study of nuclear fusion. This is just a small part of the discipline however.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 4:14 amLooked this dad up -google ya know.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Thu Sep 23, 2021 10:37 pm How do we feel about this email I just got tonight? It was a reply to another generic email to our class from the class parents about a gift card or whatever. Pretty aggressive, but his kid and third case in class since 8/6. Because it's his kid I'll give him a pass, but it reeks a little to me. Personally, say what you want to say, find another educational outlet or shut up. If it was done without a sick kid I'd reply either "please unsubscribe" or "STFU" because it wouldn't be appropriate IMO.
If anything I think the lazy text and blast email system is too much, weak form, communication from what I've observed. And the little stuff that could be rolled up or not sent could be avoided to allow us to focus on major/important matters to me.
Hi fellow parents,
There is very limited information flowing about covid and contagion at Mary Lin/APS. I have strong opinions about it, so I wanted to let you know that our son, xxxxx, tested positive for covid today. He had a fever last night and most of the day, but he seems otherwise strong and in good spirits.
I think (I hope I'm wrong) that you won't hear about it through any other channel. Our guess is that he got it at school, although there is no way to know it for sure. He also attended school until yesterday and unfortunately, he might have been playing, sitting, or having lunch next to your son or daughter.
I hope you and your families are in good health. I just wanted to give you the information that I think you would need in order to be cautious with your health and those around you.
Have a good night,
PhD in something physics related from Madrid (my spanish blows but Condensed Matte(r?) Phsyics best I can tell. Then a bunch of bs that I can see through in resume/linkedin inflation (executive leadership programs to drop university names into a CV, etc, as if full time programs which I know in two cases are not what they are), director of fraud analytics for a spanish bank being acquired by PNC currently so his gig is probably at risk as a expense synergy. Can't tell if he's angry and probably has a lot on his plate as well as his kid being sick but for you jackals to tear apart here was my respons when I woke up a little while ago (the only change is I am using my son's name as the outside world sees him and felt appropriate since he's clearly in my mold only better than his father vs. the one on his birth certificate):
Very sorry to hear about your son. Having experienced the communication aspect of this virus with our son, Pimp Daddy Jr, who is in 3rd grade and has had two cases in his class to date, he and our daughter have been fine subsequent to those incidents to date and we know they test daily, I’ve found they do communicate fairly well in a timely fashion in these situations. Appreciate your notification and would be happy to provide any personal assistance if and when I can to you and your family – you have our information here.
Conversely I would personally suggest we collectively remain empirically skeptical but trusting as such a breakdown of trust can have potentially deleterious affects on our children and at least allow for the morning testing and operating process at the school before drawing any conclusions and acting on such. We’re certainly working with limited and statistically insignificant data with respect to this situation and our kids physical attendance back at school. This will continue to be my approach, as it has been, while having only empathy and a desire to be helpful to any whom I can that are victims of this virus.
With respect to administrative considerations, I’m sure this situation with the mother of the 3rd grade teacher requesting special treatment for her daughter based on a internal and unofficial benefit conferred to children of faculty, that elevated the mistake made by the Mary Lin administration executed in the fall of 2020 to a national level, and with a focus on the best interests of the certain very tiny cohort of children, is creating a tremendous distraction at a time when we need all the education professionals to be laser like focused on our children’s health and education in this time of global stress. That’s where our family’s will continue to monitor for it’s long term implications. (We have come to understand and noted that this “agent of change” was requesting special treatment for her daughter while her personal business aftercare school program was at risk for longer than this concern has existed, in the face of the heart of this viral crisis, as well as risk to her husbands not educator position within the school striking this parent as a context that should be broadly understood with respect to evaluating the work of the faculty staff and principal)
Regards,
The guy is a fraud analyst for BBVA Compass, so not really doing what he studied in Madrid but had UT Austin at top then I see (specifc company executive leader program, other stuff like that fluffing his resume and obfuscating his actual chops). Compass is sold to PNC so he's probably worrying about his gig. There's going to be overlap there.
Or at least would have if I'd asked my wife or son's counsel!
