[quote=Anonymous]Your question is something that actually makes me quite angry, and it's been this way for years. Back in 2009 I was at open houses with hundreds of other parents, when there were less than 20 slots available. We don't have a lot of choice. We have a lot of chance. So you go to open houses to see which schools you should apply and that might be ok choices should you be accepted. BUt never, ever fall in love with only one school for your child. The odds are not good. That said, you do get in somewhere, so good to make an informed choice when you do actually get presented with the choice. Also, preS-3 is not the end all be all. By staying engaged over 3-4 years, and lottery-ing every year, we ended up where we wanted. [/quote]
