[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or they could stop fearing brown children and send their kids to Leckie.[/quote]

This is really short sighted. We Have two children at Leckie and it isn’t the kids, it’s everything else that makes us want to move them next year. I won’t go into detail but it’s not good at all. And just like any other family, we have the right to try the lottery for an OOB spot. [/quote]

I don’t have any issue with you using the lottery. I have an issue with military families thinking they need a special preference in the lottery. [/quote]

We're not a military family but I have no issue with military families getting special preference in both the OOB and charter lotteries.  None.  In my view, those who make the commitment to work in the service of our national defense, accepting a challenging itinerant lifestyle in the process, deserve special consideration in the lottery, period.   The families will make do without a special preference in the lottery, but we should do better for them as a city and a nation, a lot better.
