She was at one time in 6th grade. Your answer was unworthy of her at
that time.

Nope.

Because they are.

The first response you got neither objected to your content, nor your
attitude. You had around 2 posts of reasonable discussion, and then
started with the snide childishness. (I myself didn't comment until
then, giving you the benefit of the doubt.)

What you responded to was neither. Martin made a (polite) comment as
to his own opinion on the situation in his local schools, provided a
source citation for those interested in further information, and then
said that he guessed that he disagreed with the NEA.

I said it was. Then you reverted to normal.

Look the word up in the dictionary, numbskull. And learn to spell, if
you want to be a teacher. The parents may be even less polite than I
am.

Correct.

I did not use those last two words. You did.

>Are you posting libel

No.

or opinion

Yes

>in your false conclusions

They are truly my opinions.
