[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wouldn't it be truly fair if it was just a lottery and your WL number was your lottery #? Waiting in line, if you can, doesn't make you a better or more "motivated" parent.  Being on an  ipad at 7:58  with a latte and a spreadsheet in your pjs  doesn't make you "savvy".

It was unfair when Oyster did it and it's unfair when charters do it.

Call it a lot if things, but don't call it fair.

Good luck![/quote]

Actually getting up at 4 AM to try and get a spot a great school for your child does make you more motivated.  And life is not always fair. Sometimes you need to take that extra step to get somewhere.  My DH was in line this morning because we got triple digit waitlist numbers everywhere last year.  Our neighborhood school is a mess. There were lots of parents switching off and the aunt of an applicant applying for her niece or nephew.  It is one day out of your life-- if you are truly motivated then you will do all you can to make it work.  Whining about how unfair it is will get you nowhere.[/quote]
