[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that the study of the preference came to a really short-sighted conclusion. If I remember correctly, it showed that in the first year of such a preference, something like 700 kids who received the preference would be impacted and get a better placement. 700 kids! That's actually a pretty strong impact, especially if you consider that the preference would place 700 kids per year in a school that they preferred with a relatively low at-risk population.[/quote] This. 700 kids! More the next year, more every year, it adds up. Even if you didn't do sibling preference so it was only, say, 350 kids, it still adds up. And the benefits to the better functioning of the system as a whole, and the ethical imperative to at least try. Well worth it and I say that as the parent of a 2yo who will be a sibling applicant at a HRCS.[/quote]
