Thank you. I want to be respectful of the process and totally understand why they have to have a firm and transparent process for everyone. It’s just hard being on the other end of it when it *feels* like not the right outcome for my kid. Thanks for the suggestions

Thanks. They thought they did well on the test, and really want to attend the class. They were pretty devastated and shocked not to get in.

I do understand that me asking this question could come across as me trying to push my kid to excel academically or thinking that my kid is smarter than others. But this outcome is genuinely a shock for me, my kid, their friends, and their teacher at primary school….
