[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of a kid who applied and accept ED by the rules. For those who say MYOB, you're off base. This is OP's business because this kid could be taking a slot away from another classmate, even OP's kid. Schools absolutely compare applicants to others at their school.

Still, OP [b]you don't have all the facts[/b], so I think contacting the schools is an overreach. [b]Contacting the high school counselor is the right level of intervention for you[/b]. The counselor can look into it and take it from their. Tell them their concerns based on what you know and then let them do their job. [/quote]

No, contacting the counselor is not the right level of intervention — OP does not have all the facts.  One of the parents could have recently lost a job; the vacation could have been paid by another family member.  Any number of things could have happened that changed the calculus of the situation — and it is none of OP’s business.  The counselor will find out one way or the other, but does not need OP tattling on the family.

We have a multi-generational family living in our expensive neighborhood.  One of the family members is a single mom doing her best to raise her children on a low-income job, but she shares the home with her parent and other family members, which affords her the opportunity to send her children to a good school district.  Other family members pay for the family vacation every year, but she really cannot afford college or other wealthy amenities.  She has every right to wait to determine if she will receive enough financial aid for her child (especially since FAFSA is delayed).[/quote]
