rejection letters speak volumes

When our kids were in preschool, we explained to them that there just weren’t enough chairs for all who wanted to come to their preschool and class. That was something the kid could get and no one got their feelings hurt. It was a similar explanation when they were competing to get into private school in 7th and 9th grades. It makes a lot more sense than slapping the kids with a mean rejection–why should there be an insult? Makes NO sense to me and the kiddo may actually wish to consider a transfer or potential graduate school. Rudeness may knock them out of contention in the future, including when their offspring may be considering college.
