[quote=pbraverman][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, I forgot to add, the previous school did not want my DD to leave and expressed that to the new school. [/quote] Wow, that really stinks, pp. Is this a common practice? DC is a smart kid at a K-8, one of the top in her class and I know the school doesn't want to lose her. But, would they say that to the schools to which we are applying? [/quote] PP: I wonder if you're misinterpreting? In cases like those, I was candid with the school to which our student was applying as well. My intention was to convey: "Great kid. We'd love to hang on to her, but we understand it's a family decision and we can't (and wouldn't) stop them even if we wanted to." It was a recommendation, not an attempt at sabotage. Sometimes the new school would offer a spot, sometimes they'd say, "We have too many for 7, but come back in two years." That was the most common reply at the most competitive schools. Peter[/quote]
