Who knew private, Christian schools could be so political?

So, I have another experience to add to my life lessons. Things with Lipscomb did not turn out as I had so wishfully hoped they would. I met with the Headmaster and the Coordinator of the elementary school regarding Isaac's admission for the fall. I was shocked by the content and proposal we received for contingent admission for next year. Apparently my son is abnormal and needs to see a child psychologist. WTF! Excuse my abbreviations. But seriously, who do these people think they are? It is my and my husband's right as a parent to decide what is best for our children, not a member of the administration at Lipscomb. I am so disappointed and angry! After a very brief, 30 seconds maybe, conversation with my husband about this proposal, we knew it was time to end our relationship with Lipscomb. As hasty as it may seem to some, it is what's best for our son. He will not be placed in someone else's box of what they think he should be and how he should act. I communicated with another mother of a child in Isaac's class who has gone through a similar issue with her child. It is appalling to think the administration at Lipscomb has the audacity to make such suggestions and proposals for their students without discussing it with the parents. I would hope my experience with Lipscomb is more the exception than the rule. However, I doubt it based on the impression I get from other people with whom I have discussed this. Apparently Lipscomb is the big family that they claim to be, but only if you go to the Church of Christ and "run in their circles". Sadly, it seems if you don't have enough money to donate to the school or the right affiliations, then you won't "fit in" for long. This is a very disappointing opinion to have of my Alma mater, but it is sadly true (for me and my family). I don't know if any other Lipscomb alumni will read this post, but if you do, please know this: Lipscomb provided a great education for Isaac in the time he was there, but I really feel like they tried to limit his individuality and tried to put him in the mold they thought he should fit in. When I went to high school at Lipscomb over ten years ago, I never felt like I completely fit in, and now I know why.
