[quote=Anonymous]As someone who has worked at a number of independent schools, it doesn't surprise me. Schools are either going to handle it very professionally, or like gossipy middle schoolers. There's no middle ground. I found the bonkers schools tended to be incredibly insular and have a very inflated idea of their importance. One school I worked at would have lost their collective minds if a legacy child whose parents had a substantial pledge applied out. That news would have rocketed around campus in 0.73 seconds. Indicative of a long-standing and deeply toxic culture. OP, I wish your daughter the best. I hope she is able to find a school that is a better fit. I hope she is treated fairly the remainder of the school year. And if she returns to this school next year, I hope the adults don't act like petulant toddlers because a child(!) decided to explore other options.[/quote]
