[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]New poster here. Last year I wanted to know because I was hoping that nice parent friends and acquaintances would continue with us from preschool to elementary school. In choosing a school, I imagined my child's day there, and our logistics. That included whether neighborhood kids were at the school, and whether my child knew several classmates. So, like the OP, I would have said I was "curious." A number of families who know each other did send kids to the same school and we've become better friends with our kids in elementary school together. Nothing competitive about it. I think many on DCUM really assume the worst of people. [/quote]

I like the nice and politically correct rationalization for your rush to satisfy your "curiosity".  Two weeks (new parents meeting) is simply to long to be kept on pins and needles ... much like March 10 or April 14.[/quote]

PP you're quoting here.  I didn't ask anyone anything,  I waited until people raised it with me, and for the admitted student parent meeting.  I was only posting here (about my feeling of curiosity last year) because people seem to assume the worst about the OP, when I think there are wholly non-competitive reasons for wondering where our kids' friends will be heading to school.  And what's creepy about wondering who your kid will be with?  Who will be in the carpool?  Seems odd not to be curious about that.  These are some of the families we now spend much more time with, bot kids and parents. [/quote]
