This is the generic reply G&T sends out via email if you write to inquire about when letters are being sent. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

How are we meant to understand this? What are they still verifying? How can we receive letters this week, if they still have not been sent? [ Reply | More

I don't understand. When they took this process over, did they not know it would be a major project and that parents would expect clarity about the whats, whens and hows? In fact, wasn't that the point -- that before there was no transparency about the process and now there would be?!! [ Reply | More

of course, but they realize also now that the more claritythey provide, the more ammunition they give to people to sue them. better off saying nothing. [ Reply | More

seems silly to me, but people can always sue. given the level of craziness among nyc parents, especially desperate ones, I wouldn't put it past them. I am sure that the doe has consulted with lawyers on how to handle this whole process though [ Reply | More

ah, you don't speak DOEse. They didn't specify how they define a week. Now one would think they would mean a school week, which ends Friday at 3:15, but perhaps not. My guess; they're mailing tomorrow, and you might get it in afternoon mail Friday or on Saturday. [ Reply | More

Np - exactly! Just like in the bible - we don't know what they meant when they say a day. Was it 24 hours? Those DOE-ers. So smart. [ Reply | More
