School Decision Letter Update II

Dear Friends and Family,

We heard from three more schools yesterday. P got into one more school and got wait listed for the other two.

I'm convinced schools don't send out rejection letters anymore. They just wait list everyone. That way, they avoid the drama associated with rejected parents crying and screaming in the office begging for a spot. Instead, those parents need to stay on their best behavior waiting to see if a spot opens up.

Us? We're officially at the point where we need to make a choice. Before, the choices were:

• send P to school A
• don't send P to school A

Now, it got a little more complicated.

• send P to school A instead of school B
• send P to school B instead of school A
• don't send P to either school A or school B

I think we're down to those two schools. We're not going to get into the school where we had the obnoxious interviewer; and, at this point I'd prefer A or B or that school. And, I'm not motivated to finish the application for the school that requires a retest in junior kindergarten. It's the furthest, drive time wise, from everything. And, there's the two public schools that we're not going to wait on. So, we're down to those two schools.

Realistically, unless something changes dramatically in the next week, we'll be putting down a deposit at a school.

So, on Thursday morning, we didn't really have a choice. Today, we do.

Time to start thinking. I think I'd like to visit the schools again next week if possible.


Cheers!
