[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prepping by asking potential questions to my DC, as we would for, say, a job interview. Best I can think of. I’m an experienced interviewee…my 13yo, not so much. [/quote]

The family interview is for you to ask questions, not really the other way around as much. You should be prepping questions, not answers[/quote]

On the contrary…just completed our family interview, and yes, my child and I were asked a series of questions. As with most interviews, we were offered the chance to get our questions answered at the conclusion of the interview. Thanks for the suggestion though. [/quote]

Did not suggest you would not be asked questions, but you are being evaluated on the strength of the family's interest and support of a very different kind of learning. That is generally displayed in the content and context of the questions you ask.[/quote]

“Not really the other way around” suggested - to me - that perhaps there wouldn’t be many questions, and I’m just saying there were several for my child and several for me. If it wasn’t your intention to convey that, apologies for misunderstanding. In my experience, and as another poster commented, the interview felt as though it was mainly intended to reaffirm the level of commitment required of students and families. It felt like a standard job interview (former hiring manager here) - there is the expectation that you have some question(s) that indicates your level of interest in the organization and alignment with its values. But that didn’t feel like the main focus of the interview. Thanks for the feedback.[/quote]
