[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get the needing hand-holding accusation.  The PreK3 lottery situation creates winners and losers clubs, and not just for the two years of tot exile.  There's an in-crowd and an out crowd at Brent from the get go, and the fault lines won't be erased later.  We got lucky two years ago; many friends and neighbors didn't.  They ask us for basic info, everything from where can I buy Brent t-shirts, to can I vote in the PTA election, to who's teaching what, to prepare to join for K because they're not in the info loop and feel like chopped liver at Brent.

Is it a crisis?  No.  Is it good for the neighborhood and school?  No.

This whole discussion is so crazy-town.  So you didn't luck into free pre-school - GET OVER IT!!  I agree it sucks, but there is no vast conspiracy, there is no "winners and losers club," there is no "in-crowd" . . . WTF!  Its just a freakin' local public school.  I promise you, those of us "winners" in the lottery are not all getting together every week to congratulate ourselves and plot Brent domination and how to exclude latecomers.  The school parent/teacher community is just like the rest of life . . . some of the parents you like, some you don't, the vast majority you are indifferent to and never exchange two words with.  You will not be the "out crowd" simply because your kid doesn't start until K.  NOBODY CARES who started when!  There are no "fault lines"  (BIG, BIG WTF upon reading that!)  And, BTW, as a current parent, I don't get a constant barrage of emails from the administration, invites to meet-ups, or whatever other handholding you folks are obsessing over.  None of it, nada, zip, zero.  Join the Brent list serve and you'll hear when the PTA/LSAT meetings are (most of which we skip, because they are pretty long and boring).  That is about the extent of the "handholding" all you dissed folks are so worked up about because you feel you are missing out.
