- Indya, I stumbled accross school matters while searching for informaton on Beaumont Magnet. I was very impressed with the vision/goals of the school. Can you please provide me with your personal insight/experience at Beaumont. I live in the Farragut district but from what I've read so far - if I can, I will like to get my daughter into Beaumont.

- Indya, that appears to be a Firefox bug that I first thought was only affecting me. So in a way, it's good to know it's not just a quirk on my browser. I have reported that as a bug with Ning. I will let you know what I hear.In the meantime, use Internet Explorer to check your messages. You should not have an error using the IE browser.
