Magnet Applications:  Your Persistence Doesn't Change Anything

5/3/2017

 
Parent:  I want you to look at my child's matrix and correct it.

Me:  As I have told you, every day, for the last 10 days, your child's matrix does not need to be corrected.  They qualified as G/T.

Parent:  I want the report card section fixed.

Me:  You did not submit a numerical report card when you applied.  They qualified as G/T without it.  There is nothing to fix.

Parent:  I gave you a numerical report card last week.

Me:  Yes, I understand​.  However, they qualified as G/T without the report card.  There was no mistake made on the original matrix.  There is no correction necessary.

Parent:  I want you to add in the report card score.

Me:  I'm very sorry; no.

What the parent was asking, whether they realized it or not, was for a G/T Admissions Committee to meet to verify a matrix on a child that was already deemed as G/T.  This would have been an unnecessary waste of time for everyone involved.

The parent was persistent, I'll give them that.  They asked multiple people, several times per day over a two week span.  The answer remained no.
