[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have told people about this policy and it is counter intuitive and people don't believe me.  So, yes, I do think there is a way to go in educating people.  Take it or leave it, but it's true.[/quote]

How is it counterintuitive to lose sibling preference if the sibling doesn't go to the school?[/quote]

It's just as counterintuitive as walking into a store with a BOGO free special on loaves of bread, deciding you only want one after all when you get to the register, and then being shocked (!) that it isn't free.

Who. could. have. known.

There should have been a sign explaining that BOGO free specials only apply if you are actually buying one, because counterintuitive.[/quote]

A huge difference, actually. When you look in "MySchoolDC" your child is "enrolled."  Using your analogy, you have bought both loves of bread and walked out of the store.  There is no asterisk, no warning, about becoming un-enrolled months later if one child is successful in the lottery and obtains an offer from a preferred school.   With such a serious outcome, there absolutely needs to be more explanation.[/quote]

A. This isn't "months later." This is before the PS3 has even started school. There is discretion, yes ("might" in the wording), but school hasn't even started for the sibling.

B. Sure, so you BOGO free with two loaves, walk towards the door, but decide to return one before you leave. You want your money back AND to keep the free second loaf. Really? It's counterintuitive that you have to give it back, too?[/quote]
