DS is very athletic and smart. He has always been very intelligent and was one of the top children in his class (not a stealth boast!) He plays relatively highly in a particular sport and is in competition teams for 2 others. We went for a scholarship at a private school, but didn't realise that the prep school attached to it practise for the exams from Year 3 specifically for scholarships and prepare them for it. I don't see how that's fair. He scored very well in his athletic assessment but not so well in the academic side of things, he did very well but obviously not the best, due to being so unfamiliar with the exams they set, unlike the children who got the scholarships (the 2 that got it already attend the school ) he also didn't do certain technique they were looking for in a sport, yet this special technique is only something they look for and the children who go to the school are already told what it is and practice it

AIBU to think it's unfair DS didn't get a scholarship?
