[quote=Anonymous]She didn't have to be "critical" for this plan of action to be rude. And that's what waiting until the last minute to tell people you were ditching them for a preplanned vacation is -- it is rude. The program might acknowledge time could be missed for, say, illness, but it's unlikely they meant a week's vacation planned 6 months prior and that they only found out about at the last moment.

Look, either her time there was valued, or it wasn't. It would be odd to have 74 people (and one of them with a lot of Instagram followers, too!) to compete over a worthless slot, but whatever. It was a slot that was valued by over seventy other kids, even if by nobody else.

And regardless, waiting until the last minute was rude. Rude to the company, rude to other kids who might have treated the opportunity with more grace and professionalism.

Nobody here is crying havoc and letting loose the hounds of war over it. They're just saying that it was not handled well.

It wasn't.

Hopefully everyone will do better next time.   [/quote]
