[quote=Anonymous][quote]Not at all! I clearly said that I wasn't comfortable with any kind of lying. I can't imagine how you would continue that lie through school. I guess I shouldn't have mentioned the twin thing - it was something we'd joked about. Didn't realize it would get everyone all upset/confused. I was just wondering if other people did lie, based on what seem to be a LOT of siblings! Cos having a sibling at a school seems to be about the only way to get into a lot of them! [/quote] It is frustrating, but it makes sense. There's one entry year, say PS. Say there's 40 slots. But if the school goes through 8th grade, there are 10 other grades (400 kids). Many/most of them are not only children - say 350. Not say most people have kids within 5 years of each other - that leaves 175 current students with siblings. If only 20% of them are the PS year, that's 35 out of 40 seats taken up by siblings. [/quote]
