Messages regarding phone calls
The calls are being chronicled all over the other parent resources (e.g., the Facebook West Point Parents, the West Point Moms and the USMA 2014 Yahoo sites). The postings have ranged from the very emotional "My kid is very unhappy and wants to quit." to "It's hard work but my NC is having the time of their life." and everything in between.
While this is a very "free wheeling" blog that provides some very useful information regarding pre-entry issues (and some really mundane topics), it really doesn't focus well on after R-Day topics. I can't imagine a worried parent posting here an emotional plea for advice about what to do about their NC wanting come home because they get yelled at which is in essence letting the Cadres decide their future. Then, having some Class of 2015/16 hopeful telling them they should be happy they chose to come home. (Of course, I'm a tough ol' lady and think someone missed the boat on preparing that young person properly or in the selection of the candidate.)
Your thoughts? Let 'er rip on me!
By now, the first official phone call period has passed?
I wonder why I have not seen many posts of people receiving calls?
