[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was very skeptical about claims that some kids get in to HB through back door finagling, but then a kid who is a friend of our family got in.  It just so happens that her mom is a close friend of an APS administrator who is perfectly situated to do just that kind of finagling. The kid's parents have grumbled about APS for a long time and have considered going private. It all seems like a bit more than a coincidence.

I wouldn't claim to know that this kind of thing happens, but there is a bit of smoke there for me now.[/quote]

Do you have actual knowledge that the child didn't get in through the lottery? Or is this just [b]rank speculation[/b]?

You sound pretty exercised about legitimate questions about rigged admissions. What's your stake in this? [/quote]

My personal stake is none; like I said, my child didn't get in so there's no benefit to us in keeping the program. I will speak up against baseless gossip and speculation when I see it, though.[/quote]

So that's your stake. Mine is my money. I think my suspicons are reasonable. I think something is rotten here. If you don't like to read the comments, you're free to move onto another post.[/quote]
