[quote=Anonymous]No cons to entering the lottery! Do it, then if you get a spot, there is a decision to make. Test-drive the route from your home to school for all of the ones you are considering. Do this during the relevant times of day in order to get an accurate picture of the drive time. Then add about 5-10 minutes to the morning time and about 10-20 minutes to the afternoon time to account for the waiting involved in drop-off and pick-up. Only apply for the schools where you can realistically picture yourself doing this twice a day every day for the entirety of elementary school. It is a commitment. I agree with what others said above. If you do it, don’t expect fluency, but know that there are a lot of benefits. Each school holds an information session in winter before the lottery opens. That’s a great way to find out more about it.[/quote]
