[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Received very negative feedback from AD at Lowell School one year. At the play date the kids were to count to 50. Well, he went past 50 basically called him a show off and immature. Pointed to his drawings and said they were anatomically inaccurate because he didn't draw a nose on the face. Needless to say we didn't get in there. He was 4 at the time.[/quote]

Sorry you had that experience. It sound like the AD has easy buttons that can be pushed. I think that what happened to you sounds very unprofessional, sorry.[/quote]

It was an unfortunate experience but DH puts things in perspective for me when I'm down. The morning of the visit DC had swimming lessons and right after was the visit. There may have been an hour we had to get from once place to the next. We imagine that when DC arrived to the visit he was incredibly tired and we all know how that is when a kid is 4. We wrote it off as just a bad visit. And the way the AD communicated what she perceived as red flags was simply rude and afterward, it wasn't a school I wanted DC to attend. Not to say had he still been accepted I would have turned it down because maybe I probably wouldn't have. If it were my only option I may have sent him and transferred out. I believe once you're in an Independent school it is much easier to apply into another school. Fortunately, we were accepted at 2 other great schools and waitlisted at 1 and rejected at Lowell. It worked out but I encourage other parents, especially of younger children to apply to several schools, just in case DC has an off day or the AD misreads your child's enthusiasm or meekness. You want to find a school that complements your kiddo. [/quote]
