[quote=Anonymous]We are early in the process of deciding whether to go private or public for K next year.  I called our local public school and asked whether we could talk with someone about the school generally, what it offers, the gifted and talented program, etc.  Unhelpful response of they will have parent meetings (I assume open houses) but she didn't know when, couldn't give me any information, didn't take a message, ask me to call back, tell me to call her back, etc.  Then I tried to contact the g&t teacher from the website, asking (very politely) if we could get any information/meet/talk whatever was most convenient.  No response.  A week or so later I forwarded that to the school principal and said I think maybe the link from the website goes to the wrong place, can you please redirect my inquiry.  A couple of days later I got an e-mail from someone else saying the first e-mail went to cyberspace, she would forward to the new G&T teacher (though not cc'd on the e-mail).  Nothing.  A couple of days ago I sent a separate e-mail to several people saying, nicely, we're just looking for info for next year, would it be possible to meet/talk/send me info.  Still nothing.  Is it too much to ask that someone respond with something like "this is a super busy time, please call/write in Jan/Feb/March" or "we will have an open house..." or something?  I know teachers are busy with current students who are properly their focus.  I don' tthink I'm asking for too much, but I would appreciate some feedback so I can get rid of this bad taste in my mouth about what everyone says is a great (Arlington) school.  Thanks [/quote]
