[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rejection is part of life. It’s an opportunity for kids to learn how to handle it. But I think parents on DCUM struggle with it more than their kids.[/quote]

Rejection is one thing. Being stuck in an admissions process that lacks transparency and consistency is another [/quote]

Seems like a good teaching moment. Do you think college is any more transparent or consistent? Grad school probably is a little bit more consistent, but applying for jobs is even less transparent and consistent. [/quote]

we obviously see differently on this and likely won't persuade each other.  with application high schools in the city you have far fewer options from which to choose than for college and grad school, and can't really "shop around" for a process that you prefer or believe in more.  we also pay taxes for these high schools -- while access is of course not guaranteed, the wildly varied experiences in the application process indicate significant problems in my opinion.[/quote]
