Dear Mike,

My previous comment simply reflected that most of the complaints I have viewed concerning Xian Aston originated before my time in the City, from a time when neither the teachers nor management were happy or successful in their roles.

As both a teacher and subsequently a member of the management team from that point on, I myself have been extremely happy here, and so have the large majority of the friends and colleagues I have made during my time with Aston (all over the country).

My point is that negativity hits hard and last forever when posted on the internet. I dont mean to suggest that current complaints should not be viewed and investigated, because listening to complaints is an essential way of making sure things run smoothly. In my view however, as humble as it may be, now in retrospect I personally find a lot of the comments posted hard to accept.

Yours sincerely, Owen Morris.
