[quote=Anonymous]I was warned in our previous Ward 3 public that the teachers would be resentful if my child was admitted to an independent school. One teacher had children that left our school to attend independent schools yet wanted to know why I would take my daughter out of this great school. I did not respond as I wanted because she was writing the recommendation. Another teacher said she was surprised my child was admitted to a Big 3 as she was an unlikely candidate. She never taught my child. The teachers asked nosey questions about SSAT scores and how we created a brand for our child. One teacher said she would never use her nest egg to send her kids to private. The principal stated at the June HSA meeting that public school teachers had the better skill set. His son was rejected at a Big 3 that same year. My advice to others is to secure two additional community references from outside the current school to balance any bland recommendations. [/quote]
