Mom123,
I am sorry that person was so rude. I wish it was the last time, but if she truly represents the administration at the school, you are lucky to know upfront that to them 'people like you just don't exist, and if they do, they should have the decency to pretend to be like everyone else.' Can you imagine sending your daughter there.
If she doesn't nescessarily represent the admins, then it's a great chance to practice a skill that you will need to become good at anyway.
Set out pretend helpers to detect closeminded people. Imagine that when these little helpers hear this kind of talk, they lovingly put magic cotton in your ears.
Since you can't hear a word this lady said, you then calmly smiles and just repeat yourself over and over until the interaction is completed.
You say something like:
"My little Pandora is quite unusual. Who would I talk to about having her evaluated for a place in you kindy program?"
Of course you might choose NOT to put her into kindy now, but the sooner they evaluate, the more you will know - both about your daugher and about the decision makers. It might open the door to skipping 1st, and keeping the fun year of kindy.
Or you say:
"My little Pandora is quite unusual. Kindly tell me how a can sign up to observe your current Kindy class so I can evaluate if she belongs there."
If I hadn't learned about the magic ear cotton, I would have cryed even more than I actually did. You can win this, it just will take longer than you hope.
Grinity
