[quote=Anonymous]My kids are three years apart academically and sure, it would be nice if my younger DC were guaranteed a spot somewhere even if my elder DC left the school.  But I just don't buy that the relationships and oh so special unique school culture really matters.  Charters love to tell you they're so special and unique but meh.  I don't think an entire family full of kids should be permanently blessed just because of a good lottery number for one kid, one time 10 years ago.  Creating a system where newcomers to the city and people with bad lottery numbers have no hope of a good school is a real down side to this kind of policy.  And if my younger DC wanted to go somewhere other than where her older sibling went, a sibling alumni preference could make that more difficult for her to get in.  I see the importance of sibling preference for family logistics, but I just don't see the same value in sibling alumni preference.  With older children the commute pressure is not as bad anyway.
