<p>Thanks again for all the additional POVs.</p>
<p>@Periwinkle: I appreciated you pointing out the distinction between what is illegal vs. legal (albeit mean-spirited, hurtful, and in bad judgement/taste). Interesting that the outcomes of the initial acts (again, as far as we know) were very different — the illegal conduct ends up in rumor and an eroding the day school’s rep via a prospective parent; the legal conduct leads to bad press and in one case, a suicide.</p>
<p>Maybe it’s this thread or maybe it’s this gorgeous Fall day, but I think my stance on either of the “scandal” incidents this Fall might be softening. Second chances, forgiveness, and all that…</p>
