[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Essentially they are checking that the parents don't drool and walk on their fists, can string a sentence together without swearing and seem sober.[/quote]

Sort of.

They are also trying to assess what type of parents come along with the child.

No school wants [b]unrealistic, overwrought, disruptive parents[/b] that will make the staff's life miserable for four years.

If you don't think there are people like this, you are dreaming.[/quote]

I'm quite sure that many parents fit this category, as well as I'm sure that there are some very stupid, inefficient clowns masquerading as teachers at privates in this area.[/quote]

Your comment about some of the teachers is,of course, true.

[b]But screeners of parents are not the teachers but the Admissions people and other staff.[/b]

The rest of the staff and the teachers are going to look askance at the Admissions person that has inflicted them with parents who make their lives difficult. Not only must the DC be able and be willing to do the work, but the parents should not be continuing problems with demands and unrealistic expectations.

The school is looking to screen these people out whether at the interview or in conversations with staff at the previous school.[/quote]

Jesus, do you actually think there is [b]anyone[/b] on this board who isn't aware of this?  :roll:
