[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools put a lot of weight into where their graduates go.  It looks much better on their pamphlets if they can say students went to elite schools.  That could be one reason they are pushing you towards a school you aren't interested in: they feel it will reflect better on them to have your daughter go there than elsewhere.

Bullshit, basically.[/quote]

Well, not Bullshit, but really something a whole lot different than, "we really get to know your child" and " the vast majority of families find their DC is accepted to their first choice school" Seems that DO steers a family based on all the puzzle pieces she has. If a family drinks the koolaid and goes where they are pointed, DO 's job is easy. If they keep insisting that  they want something else, then maybe phone calls don't get returned or emails answered. Really sad, because DD has done her part:worked hard ,been a nice kid and gotten high marks and scores and does have her sights set on a particular school that , but is still being steered away. And yes, we do volunteer both in general and in our professional capacities and give what we can financially.

I disagree that the OD or a teacher who had 18 kids in his class knows my DD better than DH and I. It is their job, but she is our child.[/quote]
