[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not "distubred" at all.  She was insulting during our interview, and I know three other people who had a similar experience.        [/quote]

I find it difficult, nigh impossible to believe that she insulted you.  However, I find it easy to believe that you don't understand her evaluative methods and chose to be insulted by her detailed examination.[/quote]

It wasn't really an examination.  It was more of an interrogation, and she was probing as to whether we'd be able to afford the annual tuition increases.  We should just agree to disagree.[/quote]

13:19 here again (and this is the first time I've posted since that response). But I really find it hard to believe that she was discussing this with you at the child's interview. This is not a topic that came up at all in any other interview I have ever heard of - in fact, what Ms. Antonucci is most usually called out for is the fact that she really doesn't talk much with the parents [b][i]at all[[/i]/b] or answer questions. And she certainly doesn't discuss tuition or financial issues. Yours is really not a credible post.[/quote]

I really don't care whether or not you believe me.  Maybe she was having an off day.  But my husband and I walked out of that interview in disbelief ourselves.[/quote]

13:19 here again. Okay, since you responded so reasonably and without histrionic defensiveness, I am more inclined to believe you now.

All I can say is that, on behalf of Aidan, I am very sorry to hear that you had such a negative experience. It certainly was not an accurate reflection of the character of the school (or of Ms. Antonucci, for that matter, who must have been having as you more kindly put it "an off day"). And I will, in a gentle but meaningful way, talk with the Head of School about some of the issues raised in this thread.

For anyone else, I encourage you to check the school out for yourselves and not pre-judge it based on some of the more harsh comments about perceptions of Ms. Antonucci's behavior that are posted on this thread.[/quote]
