[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having had a kid at Walls, the interview is an important part of the process.  The school wants kids who want to be there, and are motivated to succeed.  What makes the school special is the students.  Interviews enable the school to ensure they are getting kids who genuinely want to be there and will want to contribute to the community.  I am not suggesting that interviews are fool proof, but for the student who would prefer to be somewhere else it is a fine weeding process.[/quote]

Students have a right to chose SWW while genuinely aspiring to go somewhere else.

I believe SWW has no right to screen against my kid, who will tell them the truth if asked: SWW is my choice only if the three independent schools I have applied to do not grant us financial aid.

Plus, if they want to screen the students, why the parents' separate interview? Do they want to assess if I am ready to contribute to the school community? Should my kid's education path depend on my ability to volunteer for the school?

This is ridiculous, borderline outrageous. Cannot wait to take the floor at Ward 3 meeting with the Chancellor and already got in contact with M. Cheh's office. Regardless of the outcome for my family, this feud must be uncovered.
