I have been a Horace Mann parent since 2003, and have spent many hours volunteering at the school, so much so that several people asked me whether I worked there. I enjoyed being close to my children and other kids and the curiosity and enthusiasm that surround them. The school sounds like a terribly dark place during the period of abuse, full of confusion, betrayal, insanity and misery. However, the Horace Mann that we know today--the administration, the students and the parents-- isn't the same place at all. We aren't perfect, but we are far far different. I understand the outrage of the victims; however, the people who are constantly asked to acknowledge and apologize weren't even there then. The number of teachers who were there at the time are limited. None of the students were there, none of the parents were there. It's time Horace Mann is allowed to stop apologizing so that it we can get on with what it did, and still does best. Let the administration get back to educating our kids.
