Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

If PSD gave you very good feedback from your FC does it mean you're in? She said don't count your chickens until they hatch.
29 replies [ Reply | Watch | Morejust the fact that your psd gave you that line should tell you that you don't have a definite accept.

very good feedback means they really like your dc and would like to accept them, but it is not a guarantee. "accept" feedback is just that - PSD says "dc is in at X school". We got that feedback from FC and another school and PSD told us that she would not "release" the other school until FC committed to her verbally that dc was definitely in. FC confirmed and dc was accepted, other school became a WL.
[ Reply | More ]Wow. Our PSD would never play that sort of game. Our school is not "connected" at all.
[ Reply | More ]i wouldn't call it a game. there was no need for dc to be admitted to more than our FC (although he was at a school wo feedback) and it meant that another dc from our preschool might get the spot that we would have turned down anyway. It helps no one for some kids to get into 4 schools and others not to get in at all and than have a ton of WL movement.
[ Reply | More ]Right. However, your DC's spot may go to different kid from different school but your PSD would like to get the spot for another DC from you preschool, correct? Our PSD got some feedback but nothing is "your DC is in" type of feedback, that can change it to WL anytime. If PSD is connected, maybe she can negotiate better? So your DC was in your FC before their official day and another spot your DC declined became another DC from your preschool, and maybe a DC from unconnected preschool who had a good feedback may have lost his or her spot. That does not sound fair at all.
[ Reply | More ]Actually, no, the school that PSD told we were headed elsewhere did NOT take another dc from our preschool bc no one from our preschool got in there last year. And regardless, NOTHING would have been gained from my dc getting another acceptance (I don;t need to stroke my ego thank you). I think that dc from unconnected preschools stand on their own merits - the great ones get multiple accepts, but unfortunately, the middle of the road ones don't have anyone rooting for them. It's very possible our "definite" feedback was rare, I didn't share that information with anyone else or ask them about theirs. And until we had the letter in hand, I didn't really believe it. But things did work out exactly as PSD had said.
