[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why on earth would you schedule a meeting with the fundraising team?  You were asking for trouble when you arranged that.  You could have declined back then.[/quote]

We did decline. These requests began last year. They notionally meet with every new family but we thought that was crazy — we had just gotten to the school, I had just had a new baby and none of the other three privates we’ve been at have ever done anything remotely like this. A friend who works in fundraising at another school said to say we would be back in touch at some point in the future, and try for a permanent punt, and they would get the point. They did not get the point. They kept asking and, esp because it is the principal, it got too awkward not to meet with them. Given our epic feet dragging, I never imagined they would ask for anything like this.

Nope, I am not a troll. I did go to public school and think it’s dumb to call the principal the head, so I don’t. (Privately.) It’s not a lower school if there is no upper school (actually at our school 4-6 is “upper school” but that is not standard.) this actually happened to me this week and I would appreciate advice on what the hell to do!
