[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've had 3 kids start in Janney PK (and then K) in recent years and I've never come across any classmates who did PK at another NWDC public school.    Everyone goes to St Columba's or Communikids or one of the Jewish preschools or a downtown daycare or any number of other private (pay) schools.

I do know one family (out of 100) that did the PS3 year at Appletree and then (inbounds) Janney PK. 
I honestly don't think OP's post is a widespread "problem" at all.  [/quote]

jeez, THANK you.  I am a PP who called bullshit on the alleged problem of children living "JKLM" --  which I'll remind everyone is AU Park, Chevy Chase DC, Wesley Hts, Cleveland Park, Palisades, Forest Hills and Friendship Heights -- running all over the city and snatching up spots in ps3.

This isn't happening.    [/quote]

Excellent.  Since it doesn't happen, Ward 3 families will not mind at all to having no OOB feeder rights at PK3 and PK4.  Everyone is agreed then...[/quote]

Many won't, a few will. Believe it or not, there are families WOTP who live in smaller houses for which they paid less than many EOTP, and it was still a stretch for them. They did it because they can't afford private and were too risk-averse to commit to a lottery system for school all the way through HS. But they will want to play the lottery for PreK. Fortunately, they have just as much right to do so as any gentrifier EOTP.[/quote]
