Thanks for sharing.

This is fair and balanced compared to what the NYT puts out. I knew parents like Sara and Mark. I'm glad they included Alina Adams. If only the NYC public schools would welcome all families, instead of platforming LWNJ who favor in-group parents like themselves... that said, some parents would want private regardless.

Wow. You have some MAGA angst. Step away from the Fox News. Not sure NYC is the right place for you. Betting your response will use one of the following terms: "woke" "TDS" "lib" "Mamdani".

And I find Alina Adams to be extremely hit or miss. I have read a lot of her posts and she is knowledgeable on some things but miles off on others. Wouldn't pay for her "expertise."

Stop it right there! I bet you’re not even a New Yorker! Don’t tell people that have a different opinion on politics they may not belong here. Diversity is New York. You’re free to not like it or fight against it but we’re not gonna have some cookie cutter town because people are getting shamed over their ideas

Thank you. LWNJs involved in the DOE, CECs, and PEP want this to be a cookie cutter town. They are right, and everyone else is wrong. They are all about their truth, but they don't have to acknowledge anyone else's. The constant virtue signaling and shaming. It is sad.

Again, I think NYC is not for you.

Agree. What a sad loser that guy is. Bet he uses "woke" all day as a pejorative, too.

I've lived here for over 30 years. How long have you lived here?

I'll check in for your response later after I've caught up with what's going on in the news on MS NOW.

I wish DCUM labeled posters with IDs (even if they were anonymous) so we knew who we were responding to. I think this thread has gotten out of hand because there are a bunch of different people and no one knows who they are writing to.

Chaos!

Sorry, moving on from the angry parent here.

But it seems like the NY Post is also going to do an article. I was contacted on Reddit by an NY Post journalist to answer questions about L admissions this year. 🤣

I have a generic user name and they just saw my user answer questions about the admissions process and they messaged me.

So we will have some more crazy people to read about soon 🤣

So curious who the post will pull out of their hats. And will it be more unhinged than the NY mag article 🤣

You should give them very liberal answers just to mess with them. Say that colleges only want Democrats and are weeding out MAGA kids and families. And that they want schools that are heavy into DEI.

Mess with the heads of the MAGA Post readers.

There is no reason to be sorry. The people who should be sorry are the ignorant people who have no idea what has been going on in public education in NYC and who automatically call someone a MAGA, Fox News watcher when they disagree with them, even if they, the accuser, are themselves not informed about the issues. There is a reason why the NYC public school system lost over 100K students and it's not just the high COL here.

It is absolutely true. And if the family has a hook, they will never counsel out that kid, regardless of how wild he is (or how shitty his parents are). Sad, but true. The "new" (she has been there for a few years) Director of Admissions is ruining the school with her bad decisions.

You seem deranged. Do you know how non deterministic it is to pick four year olds who may or may not go on to “succeed”?

So many of these kids never turn out the way their parents thought they would at age four.

- crusty old TT alum

Who said anything about succeeding or aptitude? Are you replying to a different post? That person posted about behavior, nothing else.

Calling people deranged on the internet isn't very kind, though. Why did you feel the need to tell us you went to a "TT" school? Do you think you're entitled to be mean because of that? Yikes.

You may not realize it, but you're making the point of the guy who was interviewed in that article.

Anyone have a link to Colligate college admissions? Is it even worth getting this upset about? Are the admissions that good versus, say Avenues or any other "safety" NYC privates?

I was so surprised by reading this too..

LOL-NY Mag enjoys posting rage bait like that, and the quoted woman didn't give her real name..
