The only way this is possible is if you ranked both on the lottery, got into the one you ranked lower (and thus placed on the waitlist for the one you ranked higher), and then received a waitlist offer from the one you ranked higher.

If this is the situation, then why did you rank one higher than the other in the lottery in the first place? You know all the factors and we don't -- relative commutes, your particular attraction to the Reggio approach at SWS, your feelings about a neighborhood school like Maury, your understanding of the vibe and aftercare offerings of each school. Presumably you've been to open houses at both?

We can't answer this for you. The are both good programs and you are insanely fortunate to be choosing between them. There is no incorrect answer. Go figure it out.[/quote]

Just because they got through ranking them for the lottery doesn’t mean they can’t have more questions or can’t be unsure. Open houses only reveal so much. Asking fellow parents is part of figuring it out.

I don’t understand the condescending tone here. [/quote]

Then go ask actual parents at these schools. On here anyone can respond and you are not going to get some clear concensus between these two schools. They are both good.

On here you just get stuff like someone saying "Maury, hands down" or "we've loved the Reggio at SWS." Ok. Many of the comments are from people who don't have kids at either school. How is this helpful.

Go to open houses. Talk to current parents. Search your gut, pick one, and rest assured both are fine. [/quote]

Maury is also Reggio inspired in pre-k, one of the teachers has been in a book (about Reggio practices).
It’s just not official like SWS.[/quote]

ECE parents are adorable. High minded discussions of pedagogy. Come talk to me in 3rd grade when some real math starts. Or 4th and 5th when hormones show us and kids act out. [/quote]

Who hurt you?[/quote]

Tell me you have ECE kids without telling me.

I don't mind that you have no experience with MS or HS and so you see the world through a limited worldview. What bothers me is that you are so very confident in your limited and myopic worldview. [/quote]

I don’t understand the ECE bashing on these boards, or is it all the same one or two people? Presumably, you were there once, too, and I wonder: are you just eager to jump into any thread mentioning ECE because they “bother” you and it feels nice to you to put down ECE parents? What is so offensive about mentioning early childhood pedagogy?

Signed,

ECE parent with experience teaching MS and HS[/quote]
