[quote=Anonymous]I have a friend that works at a DC Private considered highly competitive to get into and she has shared the wispers of "fill the spots" . Of course, many schools have to pretend that they are not in need. It is kind of like trying to attract a life partner: don't be needy. Truth is, the only selective aspect that many, but not all privates ,have left any more is their inherent interest to try to take sibs to keep their private pay families happy and , let's not forget, donating $$$$$ . This reduces the number of spots for every one else and gives the impression that " no one is being accepted at X school this year" when the letters go out in March. In truth, they are taking all the sibs applying and THAT is why there are so few spots. That, and that alone. Of course, as long as the DC Public Schools suck, the Private schools can keep raping every parent in the District with the tuition increases. Now that Rhee is gone, we can all count on ten more years of the end product of DCPS to continue to be illiteracy and ignorance . [/quote]
