[quote=Anonymous]We did the shadow days at schools that offered them. Our DC loved the shadow days and the three schools with shadow days (of the 5 we applied to) are DC's 1st-3rd choices. From what we heard from DC, Landon really did a great job (or had a great kid be our DC's shadow buddy), or both. There was one school that had a shadow day where DC couldn't recall the name of the buddy -- they obviously didn't connect in the same way as at Landon -- but still enjoyed it thanks to the collective kids being super-friendly and teachers being welcoming too. Hated, hated, hated having to do the parent application essays. Gad-zooks, what a pain. Definitely liked having a tour of the school and classrooms with just parents. Felt more at ease and more likely to ask questions. Moreover, the commentary by our tour guide was noticeably different than the tours on which kids came along (in the latter case, much of the commentary was directed to the kids). [/quote]
