I'm the PP you're responding to. I'm not worried about my assumptions. We didn't play the lottery this year. We're not planning on playing again in elementary school. I'm not sold on our feeder middle school but I'm also not opposed to it and am willing to give it a few more years before I make any decisions about what DD needs, because she is in kindergarten and if we need to move, we can move. I know what goes on in the upper grades at my school. I know the teachers and I know the struggles they have in the classroom. I see the quality education and the kids and I am hopeful and proud of those kids. My concern is that the parents I know who have young children who are hedging their bets by playing the lottery every year do not see things the way that I see them.

My hope is that the test scores will increase as more people come into the system during Early Childhood and stay, either because they (like me) are willing to stay somewhere that seems just fine or because there are not enough open spaces for them to escape to another school. [b]My fear is that that will not happen and it's another cycle of buyer's remorse and another cycle of "What do you know, with your futile optimism?"[/b][/quote]

I was with you (I think) until the last sentence.  What does that mean?[/quote]
