[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Information doesn’t have to be embarrassing for it to be unacceptable to have it shared without permission. My child has a learning difference. We are not embarrassed about it and very forthcoming with schools, but if we were on a tour and someone said “and if your child has dyslexia like this woman’s does, here’s what we offer” I would be *livid*.

Thank you. This is similar of what happened. It was my a learning difference, but something on the line of: financial aid, redshirting, repeating a year, etc. [/quote]

So it was about redshirting — which is a ridiculous thing to hire, does your kid lie about their birthday. No one who goes to famous preschools is applying to financial aid.  And the topics of repeating year is so rare to never come up. So an innocent mistake that, not about learning disability or your finances, and you are on a vendetta. [/quote]

It actually wasn’t redshirting, but something similar to those examples I quoted. Look, this was my experience and that’s it. I would never send my kids there, but I am glad you/your kids are happy there. My understand is that the academics are good. HTS is just not the place for my kids as I am sure Sidwell/BVR is not the place for yours.[/quote]

You examples are nonsensical, redshirting would not be considered sensitive, while financial aid would be.

Did you expressly ask for confidentiality?

Sure it’s a tiny playground for a tiny school. But comparing $42k BVR to $16k (parishioners) tuition is just bad form.

Trash talking a small catholic school from you $$$ fancy preschool pedigree is just poor form. [/quote]

Ok whatever. This was MY experience. HTS was on our list and had the admission lady not done what she did, we would have considered it (if admitted). It wasn’t our top choice, but lower tuition would have been great (especially since I have 3 kids). I also believe in the importance of academics and I went to a Jesuit university. The disregard the admission person showed us was not only embarrassing, but made me realize that the culture difference from the schools I was used to for my kids was just too big.
I would have preferred the cheaper tuition if the only difference were the playground.[/quote]

I thought you said you aren’t even sure your current school sent the teacher recs.  How could you have been waitlisted/admitted when you told your school to take HTS off your list?

Because I applied and sent all documentation before this specific school visit. My kid had done the play date and I had already met with AD (tall lady… it was a long time ago and I believe she was AD or assistant AD). I have no idea when the teachers send the letter of recommendations. Again, it was a while back so I don’t recall the details. I have 3 kids and have applied to a few schools.[/quote]
