[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I don't know a way around this, because it would be unfair to make kids who are in a school for 2 years alrerady reapply, but when what is supposed to be a voluntary program primarily targeting low-income, at-risk kids becomes a gateway to the highly competitive lottery for the "good" kindergarten slots - that just seems poorly designed to me. [/quote] One way around this is to start a new charter school with a kindergarten entrance. These competitive schools didn't just fall from the sky! People like you saw a niche that wasn't filled and provided research to show that filling the niche would benefit the education of dc kids and they got charters to start the school. Rather than berate these founders for deciding the research indicating starting before K would be the best option, take what you admire about their schools and and your own twist-- k start.[/quote]
