[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dealing with the school lottery over the years, I am conflicted about the sibling preference option. (I have one kid). I get it for preschool/elementary school--it's easier for the family. But for middle and high school? Seriously? The goose keeps laying the golden eggs for these people. What opinions do you have about it? [/quote] The first child in every family has the same odds. And then there are a bunch of miscellaneous dynamics at play. For example, what about the younger siblings who don’t apply widely because their family wants them to go where their older sibling got in? The sibling preference exists for good reasons and you are not disadvantaged by it as much as you want to believe. [/quote]
