[quote=Anonymous]PP, well, kind of. School choice makes people in DC crazy, and I know parents who have switched schools like 4 times already, because the grass always looks greener. My kids have friends in many different schools, some of which are deemed better (by popular opinion and DCUM) than the school they currently attend. So, if they got into one of those other schools via the lottery, they would have pre-existing friends at that school and therefore would likely transition fairly easily. I, on the other hand, would have to build an entirely new group of friends and learn an entirely new PTO or HSA structure. So yeah, I do think the switch would be harder on me than my kids. And, since they love the school they are in and are doing very well there, I am going to stop chasing the golden ring. We all win.[/quote]
