[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the code permits kids this age to enroll in kindergarten, then they aren’t really one year older than the age for the grade in which they are currently enrolled, right? I’d argue the age would now start with kids born in after May 30 or June 30 or whatever.

The silver lining could be that these bills close that ridiculous loophole. [/quote]

Assuming they also change the PK ages, it would basically just give most kids 2 shots at the PK & K lotteries and will absolutely be used as such for those without financial pressure to use free PK. If they don’t change the PK ages, then this is literally the very rich kids loophole: you can only use it for K if you’re rich? So rich Kers have the option to try the lottery twice and redshirt if they want? Sounds great for them… and like it will definitely perpetuate inequities across the system[/quote]

This is so dumb. Privileges in society is not applying to public kindergarten lottery two years in a row.

I can't tell what you're trying to say. In DC, it would definitely perpetuate inequalities if rich people had more opportunities to play the lottery and skewing charters/desirable schools even more UMC is definitely not what is best for the system. Similarly, people holding the Kers back solely to take advantage of another shot at the lottery is not what's best for the system.[/quote]
