[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Went through this last year. Basically, your kid follows another 9th grader around and attends classes and moves through the daily schedule. I don't know how much feedback is sought from the host. My sense is that is more for your kid to get a sense of the school, but I could be wrong.[/quote] +1. One of my kids did this two years ago when he was in 8th and my current 8th grader is doing it now. My older kid also hosted when he was a freshman and the school did not ask him to assess his shadows. I agree that the purpose is for 8th graders to get a sense of a day in the life of a 9th grader at the school, and for my kids, it was the most helpful experience in helping them decide which school was right for them. Teachers might ask the shadow a few questions, but unless the shadow does something significantly positive or negative, it likely does not make any difference for admission.[/quote]
