And I thought applying for Nursery School was bad!

In order to apply to a private school for Kindergarten, you must first sacrifice at least one tree.  The paper part of this process includes-test scores, recommendations, essays, application fee and some other odds and ends (more if you are also filling out a financial aid packet).  Then there is the added joy of the school tour, child's playgroup, parent interview…

When, why and how did this process get so ridiculously complicated?!

Is this a New York problem or has this lunacy taken over?

Perhaps I'll move to a commune 😉
