School Acceptance and Rejection Letters

I love this week on Facebook. All of my old students who are high school seniors are getting their acceptance and rejection letters to college. There are many more acceptances than rejections and those who received rejections got better offers from others schools so it’s all good. Everyone will wind up going where they are supposed to go.

My friends who have small children are also receiving acceptance letters to their local elementary schools in Brooklyn.  It’s so weird for me to hear that schools that kids are zoned for are not accepting them. We live in 11209 and they may need to go to a school outside their zip code or Bay Ridge. I thought that was the purpose of a zoned school! How are kids going to make friends with the kids in their area if they aren’t going to that school. I get that everyone wants to go to the really good schools and that there is a lottery for some of them, but sending out rejection letters isn’t good either.

Hugs,
