OK, I am starting the line for YEAR AFTER NEXT, NOW and since I make the rules, my first rule is....hmmmmmm...let's see...all other parents must thumb wrestle for the positions, (except for my friends that I'll tell to hurry and get in line after me)...
I am sorry, but it is ridiculous that one (or several) pushy parents started things so early, likely tried to keep it hush hush until friends and relatives got in line, and then, when called out for the over the top time frame, "whined" until they got their way.
I have one child who graduated from CSAS and one who hasn't. Things weren't nearly so insane years ago. We actually didn't make it in the first year and guess what? Life wasn't over,the world did not stop, and my child was no worse the wear for having attended Normal Park kindergarten back before it became a magnet school. In fact, his kindergarten teacher was one of the best in the school system.
I feel bad for the parents who had high hopes and were left behind this time, though.
No end to CSAS camp-out this year
