Facts...only the facts.

Be precise when disclosing numbers, never use superlatives 

Just remember the most superlatives are adjectives ending in "st". Don't use them.

You do have to be careful with using certain words that will create a superlative statement.

Superlatives are easy to fall victim to if you are not concious of how you present your schools programs.

Misrepresentation, although not intentional, can cause the student to make a decision based upon the responses given about the school.  

Misrepresentation isn't judged by intent but by the impact it has. Additionally, word choice is crucial, so it's important to think carefully before speaking.

Know the facts and provide concise information regarding the school's success rate and official statements. 

I have learned to be accurate and stick to facts .

Always stick to the facts, using superlatives can give an unintentional misrepresentation of the school. 

Providing facts and not promising false information. Making sure I provide truthful information and not lie the students about anything,

Wehn giving information to potential students, it is best to use only facts and not opinions. 

I learned about the difference between representation that is acceptable and not acceptable when using Superlatives and Affirmatives 

I've actually learned what superlatives are, and the damage those words can cause - for example: in misinformed communication, which leads to rumors, and in the end distrust. Wow! It makes sense (me reflecting).
