[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay I think we need to explain the basics of private school admissions for DCUM anti-redshirters.

1. You cannot make private school admissions directors do your bidding. 
2. You do not need to send your children to private school. 
3. Private schools set their own admissions policies. Your repeated temper tantrums cannot change that. 
4. Many private schools have a cutoff date, but it is not strict, and admissions directors decide where your kid will land. 
5. There is a line out the door for people who want admissions to private school. They do not have to take your kid. 
6. You are not entitled to send your child to private school.

Some of you seem to have a very tenuous grip on reality, so maybe these bullet points will help. [/quote]

You have repeated tge same thing like 16 times, and I am struggling to understand why.  Where in this thread has one person said they are conducting a campaign to change policy?  What a bunch of people said is they they don't like it, that they think it's dumb, and that pretending like it makes sense because the Admissions does it is bad logic (because Admissions has their own misguided motivations to redshirt kids).  Not liking some aspect of a school doesn't mean people should change schools.  But we do grt to complain and speak our thoughts here, just like you...[/quote]

If you aren’t actually trying to change anything, them you are paying a lot of money to send your child to a school that you profoundly disagree with and then whining loudly and incessantly about it. I cannot understand that, either. If you are as miserable at the school as you sound — and the anti-redshirters on this thread sound incredibly miserable — why are you so passive about it? Take charge of your life and transfer your kid out. Or stop whining so much.

You anti-redshirters sound like so many spoiled Veruca Salts, just rich people endlessly whining and moaning about the admissions decisions of expensive private schools where you choose to send your kids. It is remarkable to see, but to those of us who sent kids to public and then struggled to send our kids to private school because of things like violence at the public school, it is also incredibly, amazingly distasteful behavior. I didn’t redshirt, but I cannot imagine making this much of a whiny fuss over something that is an extreme privilege. My kids entered private school after leaving a public school that I’m sure your spoiled foot would not ever step in. Who cares if there are older kids in their classrooms? There is nobody vaping in the classroom and ambulances aren’t being called for kids who have overdosed. I would never in a million years dream of whining about the admissions policies of the school that I consider it a true privilege to have my kids in and I’m astonished at the rank whiny entitlement you openly show.
