First off, not making it public knowledge that your wait list is based on time-stamp.  This is a slimy way to manipulate which families make up your school community.  I never would have known that if a YY parent hadn't told me.    This past year, we got in and we were excited because YY is in walking distance, we really wanted a bi-literate program, and we'd heard good things about YY.  I was nervous about the Chinese aspect since I do not speak Chinese so   I asked to have a meeting to help us further understand what to expect.  I was told that I should have gone to an open house - which I did, 3 of them actually.    I called and stopped in asking for more information and was told to read the website.  It was a complete turn off. 
 2 years ago we applied and  we never got a call.   We had friends, Mother is Chinese, who's number was lower on the wait list and she got a call.  I called the school and asked about it and they said there was no way someone lower on the list than me got a spot because there hadn't been any more movement.  Yet her daughter did IN FACT get in.  Are those the practices you wanted me to share?[/quote]
