[quote=Anonymous]DC is very well regarded at her school. She has great reports, is well behaved and did well ( top 3% of class on ERB and 99% on WISC). When DH and I met w/ outplacement we were asked what school we were interested in. I got the impression that our answer surprised the outplacement director, who listened politely, said DD would be a very strong applicant there,then said,"but I also think X would be a great school for her as well" Honestly,I don't see how someone who has never taught my child knows anything about her. We politely listened , but now as the process moves forward the outplacement person seems to have turned a deaf ear to us.We have proceeded to apply to a few schools, but in doing so some questions have come up that we fielded to the OD. This person does not respond  to our emails and we feel like we are being ignored. Should I just send my child's file myself? Is this the way outplacement people give advice?  It feels like the application process is just a window dressing and everything has already been decided in some kind of back room card game between AD's and exmissions people. Anyone been through this and care to share? [/quote]
