    I received this letter from the Beloit Daily Newspaper when i reached out with an urgent concern regarding the Hendricks Family Foundation proposal and its ethical issues. I linked this very website, where clearly, all of my research can be found in PDF form, along with a reference page, about:  The dangers and criticisms of emotional suppression in the classroom for children.  The dangers and criticisms of the "emotional constancy" approach to classroom etiquette for teachers.   Pointed out the fact that poor emotional responses and long term socio-emotional, psychological damage to kids is being incentivized with this proposal,   i noted the publicly available information on SkyRocket, the proposal itself, the QandA and school board meetings.  This guy had the nerve to tell me  "our approach is to report on the proposals facts" - They did not and have never even tried to inform the public about this massive "CULTURE SHIFT" at one of our schools.   "The public discussion" is largely going to be dependent on what the local newspapers are "reporting" on the proposal. Further, comments have been made about the negative impact of this program BY the public. It was reported in the newspaper as "17 of 19 were in favor".  That is not  "appropriate context and balance" Robert. That is called "leaving out inconvenient information".  And he goes on to imply that i just don't have "documentation, research, or public record material that would help us understand the proposal" or a "substantive concern" IN RESPONSE TO AN EMAIL WHERE MY RESEARCH IS SUMMARIZED AND LINKED, and everything i said about Skyrocket and the proposal was PUBLICLY AVAILABLE. The only "research" needed was to know how the program harms kids from a child psychology perspective, and to connect the dots with the staff incentives. I can lead you to the information but i can't make you think.    What the HELL is going on here?? These people work for a NEWSPAPER. they WRITE. and READ. for a LIVING. we assume.
