Still, I view the whole thing is as a tempest in a teapot. In the modern era there is a tendency among some parents to want to assign blame whenever something goes wrong for their kids. Frankly, it’s best for parents of adult children not to be making statements on their children’s behalf, but if she absolutely felt the need to do so the smart play would’ve been something along the lines of “Saylor really enjoyed her time at the University of Connecticut. She made great friends and loved her experience there, but at this point we thought it made sense to explore other options for her. She sends her appreciation to the great Connecticut fans and looks forward to this next chapter in her life.” You see the same tendency with some people when they leave a job and fire off a parting shot before they leave. It may be gratifying in the moment, but it’s foolish. The world is a very small place and much of what happens in it takes place in the margins. [/QUOTE]
