[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can not imagine anyone in the right mind would share a story of their DC being asked to leave to another parent from the same school!

That story does not ring true.[/quote]

What? Really? Our DC was counseled out and after a certain amount of time I was happy to tell the mailman because I was so happy that we were no longer with that school.[/quote]

Are you kidding?  Everybody knows, so you might as well get out in front of the story.  See PP below:

As a private school graduate, everyone knew, from students to parents, who had been expelled (which happens rarely, so of course it's a scandal that everyone knows about) or who was being counselled out. It was never a secret. The faculty or administration wouldn't explicitly state why such a student was being counselled out but in a small school environment (sub 100 per grade) the students know who's doing poorly academically. And someone would always ask why so-and-so was leaving and the teacher's response was always, "it's a better fit for *insert leaving student's name here* elsewhere." We all knew what it meant, and of course we told our parents in the typical after-school chatter.
