Plenty of Hill parents share this thought but won't come out and say it.  Give us a break, we don't have a Deal, or even a Hardy or Hobson, to keep us in the city.   [/quote]

Plenty of Hill parents are happy that a potentially high quality elementary charter isn't opening, because it increases their already slim chances at lotterying in to Basis?  I actually don't think so.  Sure people want better middle schools, but I doubt they are rooting for the absence of better options overall. Plus, they could just try lotterying in to the Basis elementary school and get access to middle school that way.  [/quote]

They want to stay in their high performing, walkable neighborhood elementary schools as long as possible and then lottery for Latin or BASIS as families have been able to do for the last 5 years. The chances of getting into BASIS aren't that slim actually (went through virtually all of their 5th grade wait list this year).

Yeah, not buying it that my neighbors are all rejoicing that the Basis elementary is not opening.  Anyway, if they are, it's still enourmously self-serving and selfish.  (Let me stay in my cute little Brent and let everyone else eat cake!  Until middle school, when I DEMAND access to Basis!)[/quote]
