[quote=Anonymous]We were at a school for several years. First kid had a great experience. We had a great relationship with admin/teachers and were very involved, lead fundraising, etc. We were #1 fans and raved about it to everyone we knew.

Things started fine for second kid, but went downhill. We finally decided that it wasn’t a good fit and applied out. One of the administrators - who we’ve known for years - handles the record requests for the school. We found out many months later - after mostly declines - that this person put false info in my kid’s file. I only found out because I had to get the final copy of the records myself to give to the new school. The other admins from the school were shocked it happened, but there wasn’t anything they could really do at that point to fix admissions - we had already committed to a new school. That person is no longer there.

Anyway, it was such a massive betrayal to my innocent kid that it made me feel physically sick thinking about it. It took a very long time to get past it, but now I can think about it without wanting to puke. I still don’t understand their motivations. How could you do that to a kid? Especially after everything we’ve done for the school over the years.

We no longer do anything associated with the school. Even though it was just one person’s actions it tainted the whole place for us. I never shared it widely so when the school ever comes up in conversation we just try to change the subject. We also haven’t gotten involved in my kids’ new schools.

Anyway, the only thing that truly helped was time.

So sorry, OP. It can be super painful.  [/quote]
