[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent, I just don't sign the confidentiality waiver. I want to have access to everything, if possible and if necessary.

You might want to include a stamped, addressed envelope though, when we applied to a private from public our old K teacher said she'd do it if we supplied those things. [/quote]

I sincerely hope this person is a troll.  On the odd chance that it's not, have you considered the message you are sending the prospective school by refusing the sign the waiver and insisting on seeing the recommendations?  Admissions may see you as difficult and high maintenance.  They will also devalue the recommendations knowing that the recommenders were pressured to write them knowing you would see them.  They will be less likely to be candid (especially considering some of the forms ask about the parents).[/quote]

If you ever had a really weird public school teacher who made strange conclusions about your child you would understand why one would not want to waive confidentiality. [/quote]
