[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe Op has realized that she values privacy. Maybe above all else. Sounds right to me.

I agree Op, it's pushy. If you have never complained that things should be done differently, re: how the school handles holidays, and teaching, they should leave you alone. And for them to want to single you out and make your omission of information - to make it a thing - it could very well be the school that creates a wedge.[/quote]

This and it’s probably why op decided to omit their beliefs because they are worried about not getting a spot next year. [/quote]

Unless they write they're Satanists in a Christian school, I think schools, even religious ones, value diversity too much to push someone out because they're not part of mainstream religions. So that doesn't work. OP is just being difficult.

They literally told the family the school might not be a good fit after they found out they don’t celebrate Christmas. I have toured Jewish schools that won’t accept non Jewish kids. It was a preschool. I was shocked but some private schools can do that. It’s not against the law. [/quote]

No, the school might not be a good fit because OP is being difficult, not filling out all the paperwork, dodging questions, and being combative.[/quote]

I disagree. Op already said she has told them kid can celebrate every holiday the school does. They shouldn't be pushing this anymore. If the kid is bringing up religious stuff then they should voice that. I think it's common sense most parents sending their children to a religious school will celebrate certain holidays at school. What they do at home is none of their business unless they want to make it the school's business. Even at the doctor's office, I don't fill out everything.
