[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. Never tell a kid they didn’t get in![/quote] If the child is in K or 1st, sure. But if we're talking about a middle or high school student, I disagree. This is a good moment to model grace in the face of rejection. There will be many other moments in life when we're disappointed by the way things turn out. It's a fact of life. We face our feelings, and we do our best do figure out what next. Great opportunity to show your child that their successes and failures don't equal who they are -- their values do.[/quote] +1[/quote]
