Not yet but going to visit this week. We're in a private preschool now and are happy there, but were hoping to get in somewhere with a path through middle school or close to our current home. We figured she wouldn't get in anywhere and we'd stay where we are. We got lucky with LAMB but want to see what happens.

Did they give you a campus? SD, MO?

No, but I was so shocked to get a call that I didn't even ask! The email didn't provide a location either.

Wow, you are super lucky because your list has no safeties at all. Except I don't know much about your IB.

It is a great list for someone who lives IB for a good school, is fine with another year or two of private preschool, and is willing to move to be closer to anywhere they get in. That isn't reflective of most people playing the lottery, but that's what's nice about the lottery--people can pick what makes sense to them.

And this is another "throw spaghetti at the wall and see if it sticks" situation. In other words- you just looked at the most desirable schools on here without a plan. Good go you that you got lucky, but your smug attitude of "let's see what happens" is pretty sh*tty.

What smug attitude?! I know these are stressful times but jeez. Just be happy for people and stop imagining that people have attitude when they don't.

Except if you're fine with a couple years more of private preschool, you had better be ok with your IB after that. Because charter spots are mainly gone by then.

This post makes no sense. PPs list seems pretty normal to me. It’s similar to how mine was and our kids ended up at a school we love.

When will people learn not to debate others’ choices in the swami thread? The posters are not asking for random critiques. Let the swami do what the swami does please.

Nah. Spaghetti at the wall PP is just angry and jealous and lashing out.

Swami seems to have wandered off and many lists remain un-Swamied.
