I'm not attacking you. I'm trying to have a pleasant discussion with you about what YOU wrote.

Note: What I wrote? What, when, where? All I've seen is a bunch of opinions, not facts.

Your facts are incorrect and, out of fairness, need to be corrected. I hope you'll listen to what I have to say with an open mind.

As I am not attacking you, I don't understand why you are being so defensive. I have no “angst” and will certainly stick to the facts. I never said how I “felt” about K12 and Bill Bennett. I'm talking facts which I will refute line by line after I finish up my school week as I previously stated.

Note: Remember this in the coming communications from Gladys ... fact by fact, line by line.

If you feel attacked then I have to wonder why this is all making you so defensive. I have not desire to attack or hurt you, just to straighten out the facts so they present the truth.

Please let your guard down and stop being so defensive. I'm a nice person trying to understand how such a clearly intelligent person and misunderstand the K12 literature as saying and doing something other than it does.

I really would like to start with the answers to my questions about your credentials so that I can understand who it is that I'm talking to.

Note: Gladys has a real hang-up about credentials. I wonder if she talked baby-talk to her infants so they would understand her! These last two paragraphs are intended to make one feel inferior, an age-old tactic of facilitators.

Most sincerely,

Gladys Stefany
