The preschool told the family that the child was NOT ready and they should not apply her out this year. Based on a lengthy conversation with the head of the preschool, and the child's teachers, and this year's PT conferences, they are sure the recs weren't good. The school warned them and they decided to proceed anyway.

Why on earth would the parents apply out if the preschool recommended that the child wait? What's the benefit? Seems like the child's fate was sealed and the parents' efforts were wasted.

It's ok for parents to use their own judgment at times.

Yes, but be careful that you're not fooling yourself.

Why don't you check out some educational journals that are peer reviewed? I'm sure you'll find evidence to support the fact that teachers are indeed some of the best judges.

Wow you already got word about Beauvoir. I believe they do not waitlist everyone like GDS so you have a great shot. Good Luck and thanks for the post. Wish I could leave work.

Can you put grade, too? Or maybe we should be starting a fresh 2009 results post?

I agree..going through 11 pages for the most recent stuff is too much. Let's start a new thread.

Just started a new thread for 2009 results per your request - it's on the Private Schools Board.

Um, no. The Beauvoir wait list has been quite long in the past. But good luck anyway.
