OK, now DOE is stalking me. I got a 2nd call from DOE today (first one from 2 nights ago) and they asked me once again that I did not submit G&T application even though my dc qualifies. I guess it's a good thing that they're being very very thorough... [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I think this whole thing is a lie. DOE hasn't called anyone. Its like the multicolored applications. Total BS. [ Reply | More

I don't think the multicolor applications were BS, just misunderstood. People received them if they had originally, incorrectly, received an application that indicated they could choose a citiwide, even though the child's score was below 97. [ Reply | More

Now this makes sense to me. That there are still hoping to make this thing play out according to their grand vision, so they are following up with parents in districts they hoped would diversify the citiwides. [ Reply | More

It's just a speculation. Could it be that DOE actually screwed up and lost some mails in the G&T applications and so they are afraid that the ones they didn't get are lost in the mail? [ Reply | More

My (hopeful) guess is that they did not receive many more than anticipated, so they are just double-checking with all non-applicants. [ Reply | More

Wow, you are a very twisted person. BTW, several people got the "right" application by FEDEX or UPS. And others who also got called, though not twice. [ Reply | More

FWIW, we also received a call from DOE last night (go fiure - so one working late on a weekend) asking about status of our form. We did not submit it. Scored 99, will be moving out of state. I think they are trying to be thorough. I also think it means they have not placed the kids yet, let alonne prepared the letters to go the families. [ Reply | More

^^^Also we only received a single version of the application form. No FED EX thing. This is not VBA, I thought people might be interested b/c it implies something about timing for receipt of placement. [ Reply | More
