Who said anything about having a discussion during the meeting? I’m perfectly aware that discussion isn’t allowed during these sessions.

All I’m doing is trying to clarify for myself some things that the family is trying to say/claim so I can better understand where they’re coming from. I would have hoped it’d be sufficient to come straight to their site to get some sort of response to that effect, but that doesn’t seem to work.

I don’t think it would do any good for me to get up in front of the Board, say these things, and probably end up adding more to the family’s problems. It looks as if they have enough on their plates as it is.

@SF Resident: You see, I wouldn’t have known that because that part isn’t exactly shown here. Would it not benefit the family to show how hostile the Board and audience act toward them and give a solid example of how they’re being wronged?

Also, there’s again the issue of not being guaranteed the courses the students want, only the courses they need. Even if the program sheet had Epic & Myth on it, it’s the school’s prerogative to shuffle kids around to balance classes. It has been done for years. :\

I understand how frustrating it is to sit through a class you didn’t pick or didn’t want, but many Lowell students have to do that at one point or another, and it’s good to prepare you for college, anyway, since there will undoubtedly be requirements that you don’t want to take.

I wish these videos weren’t all cut short to only show one side of things, though. It’d be interesting to be able to hear/see both and figure out what each group involved is thinking. It’s rather hard to do that without the other side.
