I know... it is really confusing... My logic is the opposit to yours. In adult job interviews, if HR say we will contact you very soon politely, that definitely means a rejection email.
We didn't ask either. The teacher informed us. Most importantly, the date is mid April, which is late than the date on website and the notice paper. I don't know what it means...
We were asked the same question. However, don't you think that every parent would reply more or less the same, such as we will discuss with school and we will support school, etc. I don't know how they screen by asking this kind of question...
