[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think we are saying different things. I have no problem with OOB students at Brent. If you fix the PK situation by only having PK4, there would likely be some OOB spots for PK4 in certain years.  Also, I don't think it's "entitled" for me to want my child to go to public PK and to want to support and be involved in the neighborhood school and in DCPS more generally. We didn't get in anywhere so it may be two more years before that happens (if we stay). [/quote]

I agree, and hope you won't let name callers get down. Sorry that you're in this situation.

When you say you didn't get in anywhere, you mean nowhere on the Hill for PreS3? You didn't have proximity preference at Van Ness or anywhere else?

Hang in there.[/quote]

Yes I mean we didn't get in anywhere for PS3 on the Hill. I'm sure we could have listed other schools farther afield but for a variety of reasons we want to be able to walk our kids to school. We are very close to Brent so no proximity preference anywhere else. Numerous people on this board and in the neighborhood have said "oh you can just send him to Van ness though right?" And so I wanted to post about how VN was very popular this year with its IB crowd and generally in the lottery so it's not as though people in the Brent district (unless you have proximity pref) are any more likely to get in there than someone from anywhere else in the city.   I'm fine with that - and I accept our situation - but I think it's silly to talk about Van ness as though it's Brent south when they are two totally different schools. I think it's awesome that both are doing well and are popular schools. [/quote]
