[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In other words, she wants to game the system (or really, cheat).  Because you see, HER kid deserves a greater chance to get into a good charter than OTHER kids who weren't born in September.

OP, I would hope you aren't permitted to do this.  [/quote]

PP, thanks for this. We also had terrible lottery luck last year, but would never consider trying to game the system to get another shot. There are still plenty of slots and movement for PK4, and a few schools that don't start until PK4. I can't believe that someone would want to hold their child back for a whole year just to try for a better charter school.

Who the hell cares?  I don't know about you, but when I was in college, either being 21 or having a decent enough fake ID was a social benefit, not a handicap.  I'm not endorsing under-age drinking, but seriously, a 19 y.o. freshman?  Who. the. hell. cares?  "Don't red-shirt your child because he'll be among the oldest in his university freshman class" has to be the least persuasive argument ever.  [/quote]
