Two sided

I drove by the school last night to see if the "Factual" sign had been correct to show the, well, uh, the "Facts."
I saw this. 
  Good.
  One day's notice for this meeting is not much - as the "non-factual" sign had been displayed for almost 4 days.   

I was OK with this sign.

  This side faces the street.

I did not know that this was a
 two-sided sign.
Until I looked.
Sigh....
Look at that sign that was indeed, not "Factual" at whatever time it was changed yesterday.
Someone made the effort to take the non-factual "4" off the reader board and replaced it with a non-factual, "3."
In fact, yesterday, it should have been "2" colleges.
I thought I had made that point clear in email and in person.
So.....
I sent an email last night to see why it had been changed to reflect another non-factual number.

I will not go into the details of when I went in person to ask why the factual sign was not correct yesterday.
That may be a story another time.

Ok - I forgot to update the number in a more professional manner last night.   Tomorrow it will be better.
I strive to be totally factual.

Good Morning Barb,

I have four grandchildren attending this school, am a Vietnam Marine Corps Vet and am only sorry that I live in South Arkansas and cannot physically stand beside you, but I can in spirit. I posted a link to your blog on my radio show's Facebook page, I hope you hear from some of my listeners. Any chance for a phone interview on my show?

Keep up the good work!

Hi Rodney!

Thanks for the support. I truly appreciate it. I gave my contact info to your granddaughter who is in the school play. I think it might be an interesting experience to to a phone interview. Can you send me a link to your FB page? The stats on this page did go UP today. :)

Talk to you soon!

Oh dear,

I guess that means that every inquiry to date has been given that same woman's non-factual version of what is going on at the school.

3 visits hmmm... could they be waiting for a real college recruiter visit?

I can see why they might prefer not to advertize the depth of their original deception. It was outrageous....and it still is.
