[quote=Anonymous]Well, I suspect you struck out because 5th is not a typical entry year. But what you posted makes me wonder if your child has undiagnosed or undisclosed special needs related to social skills. Because of the friend trouble, but also because if the bullying as poor social skills can be why bullies choose a target. You also seem openly disdainful of public schools (even though you haven't researched magnets) and that can be off-putting to admissions. I suggest you practice your own talking points so that you can introduce your child and your family and explain your reasons without coming off as a snob or as someone who doesn't acknowledge her child's social skill gaps.[/quote]
