[quote=Anonymous]11:59 again.  To be clear, here's the post I really like:

[quote]No one ever argued for "full and implicit" trust or that it's fine not to return emails. Concrete advice re how to deal with someone who doesn't return emails was offered in one of the posts that also argued that it's worth listening to and taking seriously the advice that you get from ODs.   The non-responsive OD in this thread clearly did give advice according to the OP -- i.e. consider this other school as well.

Any of you can, of course, choose to run to DCUM (or your school's head) and bitch about the OD and how it's all backroom deals and WTF do these people think they are and how your child's hopes are being crushed. But what some of us have been saying is that egging each other on in this way is likely to be counterproductive and that there are more adult alternatives available (ranging from speak to the OD directly and start from the assumption that you're on the same team, to politely go it alone, to look more closely at the other school(s) being suggested and consider applying to both (or even asking why the OD recommended it and how it compares to the one you were already looking at for your kid -- that is, what would be the pros and cons if you had both options.[/quote]

That's solid advice.[/quote]
