[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are new to private schools. Is it unusual for a school to just start a conversation about a school not being a good fit a few weeks before reenrollment contracts go out? Never had an indication it was a thought until a meeting today. There were no prior meetings indicating it was a possibility. Wondering if this is normally how the process works? I would think they would try to let families know in time to apply other places? Just wondering other experiences. Thanks in advance. [/quote]

Yes. And for some kids towards the end of the year.  In my kids’ lower school 2 families were counseled out of improper fit.  One because the child needed more support (LDs) than the school could reasonably supply.  The other because the parents made some racist comments about Jews - [b]they were Arabic [/b]but not [b]Palestinian (Pakistani). [/b]The kid told some Jewish kids terrible things and the parents sent him to school on a free dress day with a Palestine shirt. The school wasn’t a good fit for him and his family.  In our upper school the only kids I know that were counseled out had reputations for being “druggies”.[/quote]

The above bolded comments are racist 1) Arabic is a language Arab is an ethnicity 2) Palestinians and Pakistanis are not confused for one another and 3) Pakistani’s do not speak Arabic nor are they Arab they are Pakistani and speak Arabic. Maybe the school should council you out as your comments are extremely offensive, racist and frankly stupid.[/quote]

Incorrect. Pakistanis do not speak Arabic. Arabic is the language of Arab countries. Pakistanis speak Urdu.[/quote]
