[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Idiot. You don’t. You say we thought it over and we think this other school is a better fit for you and our family. [b]Never tell a kid they didn’t get in![/b][/quote] People like you, who can't teach a kid about disappointment and failure, just got caught in the college admission scandal. Who is the idiot? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/12/us/college-admissions-cheating-scandal.html[/quote] Pick your battles – you don’t have to make a big to-do about making sure your child knows he was rejected from an early grade. They don’t understand the importance and it’s not critical for them to know they were rejected. You’re the parent, you can keep the info age-appropriate. For older children, find a way to articulate what happened in a way they can understand, like “just too many kids this year.” [/quote]
