Hi,
Is it normal for the School your child attends to call you regarding a public FB community page and requesting you take a comment down you made. I stand by my comment about the School even though it was negative.
I just got off the pH to the principal and I'm really shocked by her call. I felt like a School girl getting told off. Just other opinions on this
Thanks

I assume they were looking to talk through your reasons for the negative feedback.
Further they may have been looking at how to resolve your grievances.
Why did you feel you were being chastised? If you stand by the comment they shouldn’t be able to make you feel guilty for that. You should however reasonably allow them to have a conversation with you to better understand your point.
If you put it out there publicly, they have to address it. Well, it's good that did. I would expect that as well. And if it's resolved, or if its private, or personal or an attack, take it down. If your child attends the school why spread negative reviews.
If you have an issue with the school tell them privately. If you comment with a negative experience then yes they should know why and if your child is still attending there you're obviously happy enough as you haven't removed them so why comment negatively on their page for others to see?
Don’t they deserve some recourse?
You publicity put it out there, you have to take their feedback and talk it through with them.
A good school would definitely like to take it further with you.
It can be seen as defamation depending on what was said and if your child still attends, why would you post on social media on their page publicly unless you wanted attention?
There's always other ways to get attention from the school rather than publishing negative comments to their Facebook.
As long as its true and you can prove it than leave it up. My child's school tried to make me feel crap over issues. I laughed at them and said resolve it.
