New Anderson Moms: STOP POSTING HERE. It has been less than 48 hours and you are already making the rest of us look bad. PLEASE stop shoveling now. You are burying all of our reputations with your crazy banter. It's hard enough without your adding fuel to this fire with yoru neurosis.

[ Reply | Options ]Well quite frankly you should be. This is not the Anderson admissions process that the parents who founded the school intended. this is bull crap and the school is not going to stand behind it. it's a tenuous year to be at Anderson, should you actually get the chance to register at all!

this is the first year that being in Anderson is not a clear statement that you are the best and the brightest. For the first tme this year, many of the best and brightest did not get in to Anderson and everyone knows that Anderson watned those students and the DOE kept them apart.
[ Reply | Options ]Whenever I meet an older kid and i ask them where they go to school and they say "Anderson", I think "Wow that's a smart kid.' But now it is changing and you really don't knwo.

not sure what you are talking about. if you are an anderson parent, please tell the school that they need to open up registration and stop playing games with the DOE. we are not neurotic, but would be in a lot of trouble if they tried to take away our spot or some other nonsense. I love everything that anderson has to offer, and my dc will really thrive there. But I think the school needs to be responsive to new families. they need to be inclusive and welcoming, and they need to allow us all to register so that we can relax and get back to our lives. It has been a long year, and now it seems anderson is saying (at least as reported here on UB) that they hadn't really figured out if they could let people register. I am seriously hoping they are not messing with us.
[ Reply | Options ]i'm sure that ultimately they will have to register all of you, but I don't think that there will be good feelings between Anderson and it's '08-'09 Kindergarten class. When they got to pick who they wanted there were warm feelings. We felt welcomed. Now I feel like they don't want you because they didn't get to choose you and they know that there are students out there who they didn't get a chance to nab.

Perhaps the plan is to have a K orientation and handle registration all in one day. That would save families from having to make 2 trips to the school.
[ Reply | Options ]-
I could see offering that, but not only offering that. some of us would like to register now, and would find it more convenient to do so now with this issue that they may be stalling because of a sib problem, I don't think I want to wait at all.
[ Reply | Options ]It may be easier for you, but they are still running a school with all the end-of- year events, graduation, tests, field day and celebrations and they only have 6 people who work in the office to coordinate it all. There are 500 kids currently in the school and the building is shared and very tight on space. They're just trying to organize things on a day that can accomodate everyone. Please take a deep breath and relax.
