[quote=Anonymous][quote]Well it would actually suck for families like mine just trying to live our lives without having our child bouncing to a new school for no reason. We'll probably be a 6-minute car ride away instead of 3 minutes. And it's not a fancy WOTP school, just a good EOTP school that we're sort of invested in now and that I wouldn't want to leave. But yes, we are renting (have been for two years) and we would like to buy a house in the area. In boundary for the current school would be great, but that's actually a pretty limited area. It seems silly to create a blanket rule like that when there are legitimate reasons people might want to stay in a school other than that they're "gaming the system."[/quote]

We got zoned out of our EOTP school and can hardly afford anything within the new boundaries.  When we moved this year to an address that's nearby but still outside of the boundaries, we just went ahead and enrolled at the new school.  I didn't like the idea of getting more attached to the school with the possibility that we'd be leaving next year.

I think it sucks that any kid would be forced out of a school if they've been there a full year or longer.  And it really doesn't make sense:  cohorts that have been together longer score better on tests.  If someone gets into a school from OOB, they're not asked to lottery every year.[/quote]
