Thank you for taking the time to explain @Nmsis : It's incredible to see the dedication and resilience of some schools. I was always struck by the connection Barbara seems to have with her skaters. Karine Arribert as well.

Is the subtext as negative as it sounds to me?

How is it a 'wuzzrobbed' situation? there is not even a point between C/B and FB/C ...
