I am not kidding and you should try. I never thought we'd get this much, either. No multiple dc's. [ Reply | More

Hmmm... I don't know. But kids often model their parents. Maybe it might help if your dc saw you or dh strike conversations with total strangers easily or invite friends over or visit friends often (not just one on one playdate but a group one)? Just guessing here. Do you belong to some group where the group gets together on a regular basis like the church/synogue? [ Reply | More

I want her to apply for TT this Fall, but really worried about the interview (not worry about ERB, bc she got 99 for SB and olsat). she is shy. I am sure she can not do well for the interview. do you know anything about the interview? [ Reply | More

Really depends on each school. Which TT are you interested in? I can share some info. [ Reply | More

OK, except for Collegiate since it's a boys' school. Spence playdate was huge. Picked up 15 or more girls. Shy girls may not do well. Reputation is they want alpha girls. Chapin picked up about a dozen girls but they separated girls into pairs which might work for your shy dd. They warmed the girls up before the pickup. Very gentle. Brearley was like Spence but with about 12 girls or so, no warm up. Trinity was only 2 kids at a time (unless you are connected and get a private one) - don't bother too much if not connected. Dalton had 4 kids at a time (2 girls, 2 boys) which was nice, I thought. Don't know about HM (wasn't interested in the Bronx schools). [ Reply | More

wow. thanks very much. what is alpha girl? I really know very little about TT. Besides the playdate, is there any interview, like job interview for dc and one teacher? [ Reply | More

Not for a kid. There is parent interview which is like a job interview. Bring the father, of course. Don't sound entitled or brag (unless they prompt you) - some actually made a note about reading ability (asked about if dc could). Just be yourself bec you don't want to be in a school community where you can't be yourself. [ Reply | More

thanks. so for kids, only ERB and playdates, right? can mother go for the interview, not father? [ Reply | More

General Topics 06.20.08, 08:14 PM Flag

Yes, but both should go, if possible. Everyone else does and if the father doesn't come, it doesn't look good. Maybe they will think you are not so serious about that school. [ Reply | More
