[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you work? It was a huge deal for me to take the day off

[quote=Anonymous]Is it really that big of a deal? Really ?
Your kid is going  into kindergarten, relax![/quote][/quote]
Yes, I do work. 
1) I just did not expect to make a school decision at orientation, hmmm common sense dictates I would have made that choice a little sooner

2) no I did not have overwhelming feelings of disappointment because of the nature if orientation

3) no I do not think the nature of the orientation means the scho is terrible

4) no I don't think my snowflake is going to need therapy because orientation was somehow disappointing for my kid

5) all the info you are looking for happens on back to school night

6) get a grip[/quote]

Back to School Night is one month into school.  A little too late[/quote]
A little late for what ?
To decide if you want to go to that school?
Right before school starts is a little to decide that don't you think?
I understand being a little disappointed, but in the long run, no. This is not a big deal.
It just is not, you are talking about kindergarten orientation ... Come on!!![/quote]

Not OP but orientation is supposed to orient a child and parent to a school in advance. Tours, meeting teachers, staff, seeing classrooms.  If preschools can do it, so can Kindergarten. If they are having all the current kids not come to school for 1-2 days, there should be something.  Anyone can hand in forms. Hearing K teachers say at a table and talked to each other and not the students or parents speaks volumes if you ask me. I would be ticked off too. A little effort on initial impressions can go along way. I truly wish every school cost money instead of free state-wide funding via taxes and your child could decide where to go. Make these schools accountable. Hearing such huge discrepancies in these K orientations is pretty sad when you don't have an option. [/quote]
