[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For about two decades there was a sense that every year things were getting better throughout the city and in its school. There was even a period where it seemed that the luck of the draw for PreK3 could establish a path the stay on the city through HS even for younger siblings not yet born. Hence the feeling of the lottery as make or break.

Now that we’re witnessing a visible and unmissable decline, and people want to hedge on everything or are already making exit plans, why stress over pre-school?[/quote]

We've got a rising PK3 and it's definitely a bit of this. I'm not pessimistic about the city; but why bother stressing with so many unknowns.

There's a lot of good PK3 options, if we don't get in anywhere convenient we can pay for private options; which would be disappointing but fine. We're paying for childcare now so the budget doesn't have to change much. It helps that we have a good inbound for K; which should buy us even more time. And if that changes we can either do more lottery, go private, or move.

Nothing we do in the lottery now is going to change that. In the event we get some willy wonka quality number; I still wouldn't want to schlep a 3 yr old across the city every day (no judgement if this is your jam tho!). Just keeping options open; hope we get somewhere near us.
