Maybe your special snowflakes will teach you some grammar.

NP here... Where I would be rightly pissed is if I were IB and was shut out by OOB applicants. But apart from that specific circumstance, I'd say it is what it is and move on. I would have had a backup plan... plan B, and plan C, and plan D....

Oh, OP, cry me a river. We all pay taxes here. We just got shut out for the 4th straight year. Now we will move to escape our terrible inbounds school, because we have run out of options and time.

It sounds like you got tired of paying taxes for some other family's kids to go to your neighborhood preschool. Am I wrong?

+1. I can understand OP's frustration. Which is why, for the first time, my spouse and I will consider voting for a middle-ground Republican candidate next time.

This may be the single stupidest reaction to the lottery that I have read.

This. It's so silly, it's hard to stop laughing. How absurd!

NP. It's not absurd at all. I voted for Catania. If you didn't, then you're the silly one.

And Catania is mayor now... not! Again, stop with foolishness.

One post is enough. My point was, Catania was clearly the better candidate. If you want to continue voting for mediocre people simply because they carry the dem endorsement, then you'll get the poor local govt you deserve. Don't mistake me; I have never voted republican for any federal office, anywhere I've lived. But partisan democratic politics in DC continues to hurt the city.

+1,000 With Bowser it's just more of the same-old, same-old...

my grammar might be bad, but the charter where I'm in damn sure is good! My kids will have a chance and yours- well you've left that up to the government to figure out so we'll see!

Would be curious if/where the OP was accepted. OP?

Congratulations on getting your kids into bomb charters that damn sure are good. Your posts make me even more grateful that by-right neighborhood schools still exist.

OP here. We're looking at Miner for Round 2. Does anyone have any experience with their pk3 program? Is it diverse or monochromatic?

We're glad too! One less loser at my excellent charter!

Those slots are at places that include a lot of FARMS and at-risk kids. Any time someone speaks about not wanting that for their child, their shut down on here as racist, etc... But, now that your kid didn't get into a sought after school (WofP or HRCS) you're whining about being shut out. No, you're not shut out. Go to the school with a bunch of FARM kids. Put your money where your mouth is. But, what you can't do is have your cake (tout how great it is to have "diversity", support disadvantaged kids, etc...) and eat it to (go to a school where they don't have any of the above. So tired of this two-faced fake hypocritical city!

Amen!

The charter we went with looked great on paper, talked a big game during the tour, etc, but treated 3yo's like tiny military school recruits. The teachers could not handle a room of 25 preschoolers with varying degrees of social-emotional readiness for a full day program.

So stick with your private preschool and move on. Try again next year. Getting a spot in the lottery is no guarantee of anything.

Were you at Appletree? I've heard they very rigorous with learning - and that's always scared me a bit for a 3 yo. Can't a kid just be a kid?

No, but Appletree's not the only charter like this.

+100... And I bet most liberals actually support neighborhood by-right schools... At least this one does... Over proliferation of charters is probably hurting school progress if you ask me...

Well, research has proven that parents are way more important than school...
