[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An Admisdions Director is at fault when a respected alum father, who is not separated & has full custody, tells her he has had two children in the school very successfully, but the school's educational offerings are  not in this child's best interests such  that he will neither sign the application nor pay for attendance. Any Admin Officer admitting a student under that circumstance is willfully choosing to "split" a 5 yo from her custodial father and dooming future teachers to a failed Parent-teacher relationship. Hard to find worse Admiss Officer judgment [/quote]

I think this makes sense, actually.  Why would a school accept a child when one parent was so strongly opposed, for whatever reason?  How is this going to be a good fit for the family?[/quote]

Actually, if neither father or mother had filed for divorced or separation, then only one signature was needed on the application (note: after an offer of admission both signatures are required on the actual contract). It is quite feasible that the mother had their daughter go through the application process without telling the father, so the Sidwell AD would have had no idea the father was opposed.

Could be.  but with the father's family so connected to the school, I would think they'd wonder about his complete and total absence from the process.[/quote]
