[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of 3rd graders assume they will continue onto the feeder with all of their friends. Unless they have a sibling and then they think everyone else will do so without them. Its winter 4th grade when kids really learn about middle school options.[/quote] This. 3rd graders are not thinking about 5th grade lottery at all, unless their parents are talking it up or they have a sibling who lotteried into BASIS or Latin. Even kids with siblingsifht not know, if their sibling is at S-H. This would only confirm for them that "everybody" goes to the feeder. I sincerely hope none of you are stressing 3rd graders out about this. Leave them alone! You will create a source of stress for which they don't really have context (they won't understand that the major reason families aim for charters is that Eastern isn't desirable, or why it's not desirable, or how application HSs work, and so on). Just let them be.[/quote]
