[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hint: it’s the kids who should be applying, not the parents at this age. I can’t stand when parents say “we’re applying,” or @we got in.” If only that could be a basis for immediate rejection.[/quote]

Ha! I agree with you and am so deeply annoyed with parents who use this phrasing. It tells me they’re domineering parents and feel sorry for their kid.[/quote]

Agree, though my kid is in early elementary so I still feel justified saying “we.” For now.

This and other threads also make me feel like pouring money into our 529 (which can now be used for private K12) is the right choice since we don’t live in the JR district. We like our DCPS  elementary and middle but not sure our high school (Cardozo) will be an option even that far down the road. Would love to stick with public or charters but trying to be realistic.

The student who got into competitive privates but not Walls is eye-opening. [/quote]

Why? Happens all the time in Magnet programs. Nothing is guaranteed.

Quiet it's kept SWW is tired of being the backup to private school families. It takes a lot of time to consistently go thru wait-list and adjust schedules and the like.[/quote]
