Why is it ever a wasye of time to say you love your kids school and why you love it?

Saying why you love it is useful. Just saying it's the best, and using lots of exclamation points, doesn't strike me as useful.


The style may not have been what I'd have chosen, but op was extending an invitation to find out more about the school. Many will find this information useful.


Many will find it obnoxious when they waste their time only to discover that the chances are slim to none to get in. It'd been more helpful to say why the school is "great" and why the bullying debate was just that- a bunch of bull. No one cares about it and people would still take a slot at the school in a second. The boosterism is silly.


you are a hater, na-na-na-na-na!

Yes. This school is only in its second year. It is no where near having a full sibling preS class - in addition as surprising as it may sound, not all children re-enrolled last year .

+1 these boosters like to waste everyone's time. Nobody even cares about the so-called bullying. Show me one person- not troll- who wouldn't take a slot now. If so, sounds good- I'll take it!

Yeah, we get it, it's a great school. But the vast majority of us have not and will never get in.

The school didn't respond? Then who wrote the email on their behalf?

Never mind the bullying. If you don't prevail in the lottery, which is unlikely to begin with, or have a sib. pref. you can forget it. People touting the school are wasting people's time.
