[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Have you wondered how good this private school is if they only take older kids or kids not appropriate for the grade?[/quote]

Well, given that they regularly place students at top universities and those students go on to excel in life, I think they are probably doing something right. [/quote]

And, publics and other schools also place students at the top universities as well.  So, is it that they are doing it right or they are doing it to make it easier on them?   These schools take rich kids whose rich parents can pay their way into these top schools, which also makes a difference.

Your smart kid would have done just fine going on time and still would have done just as well at a public or any other private.[/quote]

"Would have done" isn't good enough. You can take chances with your own kids but you can't and won't for other parents.[/quote]

And an anti-redshirter was accused above of being hyper-competitive?  So little self-awareness.[/quote]

Because nobody wants their kid to fail? You just don't want some kids to live up to their potential. It offends you for some reason.[/quote]
