[quote=Anonymous][quote]School option that requires luck, persistence and patience, and may not work out after all that < School option that can be exercised at will. Lottery = Lottery. [/quote] I think you meant Lottery = Luck, which certainly is true. In any event, while your point makes some sense, it's pretty theoretical. If you get into a charter, or are IB at a good school, or get lucky in the OOB lottery, then it really doesn't matter, does it? And if you don't, and can move - well, then you do. If you don't, and can't move, it sucks, but not really relevant to this discussion. If you're trying to make the point that it's better to have good IB options and also choices for specialty probrams than not good IB options and have to rely on specialty programs to rescue you - no shit - not exactly a revelation. And I suppose if you need to have everything planned out - the security of knowinf that you're happy with your local schools through high school before your kid starts preschool, than I suppose you'd move to Arlington, MoCo or somewhere else before preschool. But I'm not like that. So I guess my response to your point is - so what? [/quote]
