[quote=Anonymous]anyway, back to the point of this thread...there will continue to be lots of shuffling and so long as we want the amount of choice we have, it will continue. And while the idea of a single enrollment database is a good one (and almost a no-brainer), that will not stop people from abandoning one school they get into when another school they wanted more calls. There aren't multiple enrollments in these cases...it's just about trading up, or perceiving that they are trading up. Plus, the commute is a real issue for many family and the reality of it doesn't always become clear until after school starts and the lighter summer traffic is finished. What starts out as a seemingly doable commute across town or to another quadrant of the city, becomes an insurmountable barrier.  And then there are cases where a school you thought you wanted for your child is just not working out. There are so, so, so many factors that could influence a Sept or Oct school change and they will continue to exist. [/quote]
