[quote=Anonymous]I’m a pp who said I’d say this was a red flag. It’s not a reason to write the school off if other experiences were positive but it’s nevertheless a less than stellar experience. Presumably your son will shadow at other schools and he will inevitably compare and contrast his experiences. Maybe he wasn’t bothered by being ditched and it won’t carry much weight. Maybe it will. DS had a terrible shadow day at one of the schools he applied to and there’s no question that moved the school to the bottom of his list even while rationally he conceded there was a lot on paper to like about the school. DS isn’t the best with executive function but I’m confident her wouldn’t leave someone behind. That’s a pretty low bar even for a 14 year old boy. That said, he probably would not volunteer to be a shadow guide in the first place. [/quote]
