[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the love of all things, include your IB school! That seems like a no-brainer, but everyone who got shut out failed to do that.

Of course, if you have a super-popular IB school, you might not get in for PK3 or PK4, but you will not be shut out forever as you are guaranteed admission at K.[/quote]

For the vast majority of IB schools though, this isn't very helpful.  Many families would only consider their IB school for the free PS/PK.  By K, it's likely time to move on.  You don't want to be the last family left, slowly waving good-bye to friends who are moving on to greener pastures.[/quote]

Sure it's helpful! At least you have something to fall back on for PK3/PK4/K while you sort out your options and play the lottery again. It's better than having your only option be to sack up for more daycare or whine incessantly on DCUM about how the lottery is unfair because you were shut out!

And there are many success stories coming out of schools where parents have taken a chance, and I think we will hear more and more of them as we get into the next school year.[/quote]
