I tend to agree with you, pig. It's doubly disappointing because I have really liked the staff and teachers at this school, therefore this letter was kind of a shock.
I think they are heading in the wrong direction that is not only impractical (micromanaging the 'style' of their students; I can see many problems with the implementation of this standard) and probably ineffective. Perhaps the school is addressing other issues that affect the school's declining status in a more meaningful way, but this is the first statement made by the school announcing any measure being taken to promote higher achievement and it's not a promising one. I'll say it again, I am disappointed.
