Is it true that it’s difficult to get entry to schools?

by Penny on June 4, 2010



I was talking to Ryan’s babysitter about some schools that we preferred over others and our intention to send Ryan there in the future. She was previously a teacher and she was telling us how some parents found difficulties in getting their children to their preferred schools.

She told me a story about how a parent she knew donated some school furniture like desks and chairs to get goodwill from the school and finally managed to get their children in there. Wow! Is that really what people have to do these days to get into good schools?

Have you heard of any similar stories about gaining entries into schools?
