[quote=Anonymous]People don't just move because they are looking for something "better" or even just because of MS feed. Sometimes a school is just not a good fit. We left our school in 2nd because the school culture was very sports-focused and our shy, un-sporty kid struggled to fit in. We moved not for demographics or MS feed but because the new school had more cultural focus on, and after school activities, focused on things our kid was into, like writing and art. DC is a school lottery system. People are going to move around for a variety of reasons because the system is set up to make that possible. I do sometimes wish we lived in a place where everyone just attended their IB schools, there would be advantages to that. But we don't. If there is a way to use the lottery to improve your child's school experience, whether that's academically or socially or otherwise, why wouldn't you? And why would you judge other parents for doing so?[/quote]
