[quote=Anonymous]I really see your point.  I went to the lottery of a popular school that actually had a few slots for the grade we were looking for, and even though I knew the really bad odds, it was sobering to actually be there and watch name after name drawn... and none of them ours.  I'm actually glad I went, because it brings up exactly what you're pointing out: for those of us who want to have the best plan possible for our kids (which is most parents, and certainly most parents on DCUM), you really do need to know what your realistic, acceptable "Plan B" is.

And I'm not going to complain about how unfair it is, because DC public schools have sucked for so long for the most part, for anyone who's not FARMS to complain now when most families weren't even considering sending their kid to public school in DC, it seems disingenous.

Our Plan B will have to be throught through by June because we need to move then.  As stressful as that will be too, it's kind of good to have that as a line in the sand, even though most waitlists for the popular schools don't budge much until Sept/Oct.

Your point is well taken.[/quote]
