[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree this is a troll post. Far too much identifying information.[/quote]

This is OP and no, it’s not a troll post. I wish I was making this up. We live in a state adjacent to the dmv which is probably why someone’s like “no one I know is like this at our all-girls school”. It’s somehow validating to hear that people can’t believe this is real, because at least I know that our situation should not be happening and is 100% not normal.

I’m grateful to the PPs on this thread who shared their similar experiences.

My only actionable advice to others: if you are applying out and trust the teachers who need to write your rec letters, talk to them first before putting anything in Ravenna so they get a head start on drafting their letters and aren’t intimidated by any negative feedback from leadership.

Also, have a partner handle open houses and school visits if you’re the parent who is more visible at your current school. DH went to most of ours and that kept any chatter between schools to a minimum since other parents and school admin didn’t recognize him save for one dad who he knew from work and who was also trying to be low-key.[/quote]
