[Vision2020] Re: Logos Questions, and I why I expect Tom Garfield to respond

[thansen@moscow.com]

Bill Strand stated:

" . . . if he chooses not to respond, it just means that Logos prefers their 
privacy."

This may be true.  But in a "customer" oriented entity such as a private 
school, I feel that it would be to the school's credit to answer these 
questions.

Bill Strand went on to state:

"When my teenage daughter prefers her bedroom door to be closed when she is 
chatting with her friends, this doesn't mean she is doing anything illegal, 
immoral or discourteous. It just means she likes her privacy."

This comment, taken in conjunction with the earlier quoted statement, strongly 
suggests that your daughter would not be required to answer your knock on the 
door, let alone questions like "What are you doing?"
