[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From someone who works in an admissions office in an independent school in the DMV--   everyone take a breath.  I know this year has been more than stressful for us and our children.  I have children of my own that I have applied to schools for too.  Remember--- your children will be fine.  We are so fortunate to live in an area with great options.  This year, applications were sky high---spaces are limited.   Schools are trying their best to determine if the school is the best fit for the child and family.  This isn't college admissions and is not determining their path for their rest of their life.  So-- take a breath, enjoy your child and celebrate their uniqueness.  Focus on the positive and know that everything works out for the best.  And, if it doesn't, there are always options--nothing is permanent. Be there for your child too-- don't let them feel your disappointment if they don't get into your first choice.  Our children need love and support right now and not rejection.  So even if there isn't a spot at the school they/you were hoping for, focus on the positives and build up your children.  This isn't about us.[/quote]

I’ve been thinking the same thing.  Everyone should relax, this is not life or death.  Reassure you kids that no matter what happens, this is just a point in time in life and there is so many more great things to come regardless of this decision.[/quote]

actually I think most parents are just venting here because there can. My LS kids have no in depth idea on what's going on. They did a couple interviews and we will talked about school changing next year but I haven't mentioned schools to them in months. I just say interveiw time and it was never mentioned after that.  Im sure its different for older kids.

But no Kindergartener is stressing or needing reassurance over this process.

We are using this as a sounding board- we are not necessarily driving our kids crazy.
