[quote=Anonymous] A "new" head of school in the area from out of town told me years ago that he/she couldn't believe how incestuous the DC independent school community is. Heads of school serve on the boards of "competing" schools around here. We once were unhappy with our DC's school and set up a parent interview with another to explore transferring -- we had not even formally applied yet. As soon as we walked in the admission's person said "hope you don't mind, but X at your school is on our board so I gave x a heads up call that you were coming in to talk to us." I don't remember whether DC applied and was rejected, or we were just told not to apply. DC ended up at an ivy league college so this set back -- while very upsetting at the time - did not hurt the trajectory of DC's life. [/quote]
