[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Losing your IB status makes no sense. What if the school you choose doesn't work for your child? Our children change as they grow and something that works for PK might not work for the later grades. [/quote]

Agreed.  If people pay the price premium on their house for the security of a good IB school, then they're entitled to what they paid for.  If you moved IB for Lafayette because you wanted to make sure that's an option, then decide you want LAMB or YY or whatever, that's totally fair.  Now, if you got in via OOB and leave and want to come back, you gave up your shot.  Also, if you pick an immersion school and move closer to it and then want to return to your former IB school, you shouldn't be any further ahead on the WL than anyone else OOB.  However, there is nothing wrong with using your IB school as a back-up plan.  Private school families do it too, there no reason that public schools families shouldn't either.  [/quote]

While price premia for good schools exist, they are a function of the market, and are not an entitlement.  No school system is obligated to maintain the value of your home for you.  That's why school systems are allowed to redraw boundaries with no regard to community whining about property values.

That said, I agree that students need to have a default school to which they are assigned.  If a charter folds, a parent becomes disabled and can no longer transport the student across town, or a student diagnosed with special needs only the public system can handle, they have to have a place to go on the first day of school.  Whatever the circumstance, everyone gets an education.  The Supreme Court says so.  [/quote]

Not every Latin singular is pluralized in the Latin ([url=https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/premia]as opposed to English[/url]).  When done so, some of them offer delightful opportunities for parody.
