Hatteras receives first rejection letter
Yesterday, we received a hand signed letter from Olentangy Local Schools denying our request for Hattie to attend preschool at Wyandot Run. To say the least we are deeply embarrassed. We know that Hattie is 2 years younger than the required age but we just assumed that they would see her promise and actively pursue her as a candidate.
Her bright intellect along with her winning smile would have made a fine addition to their classroom. Alas it is not to be. I can only reflect on the possibility that this may not be her last rejection letter. Where have we failed as parents? Will she get into college? We are relieved in the end that we did not tell her of our request to send her to Olentangy’s preschool. At least she is not aware that she fell so very short.
Forget the public school and sign her up for Montessori. They take kids before three at some schools. In fact, I think we should all get together and start our own Montessori school.
