[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I may be totally off base here, but I'm struck by the requirement to show up in person to officially accept a spot--some schools only for just one week during specific regular business hours and another within a week of the lottery. For me, a person with a reasonable boss and relatively flexible job, I can make it happen. But what if I'm a single mom who just started a new job with no ability to leave early or come in late? Or is a nurse or some other less flexible job? Am I paranoid to think this is a way to "weed out" the working poor and is biased towards creating a higher SES student body? I know someone will say "If you're really committed to your child, you'll make it happen no matter what," but it *is* a barrier, is it not?[/quote] I think you are paranoid. Why do you assume the burden is lighter on an attorney who doesn't get to punch out at 5 everyday? [/quote]
