[quote=Anonymous]Come on, OP, access to PreK in-boundary is not a right in DC.  Loads of IB families get shut out around the city - you need to expect to be excluded in-boundary without an older sibling to pull you in.  We were shutout for PreS3 and PreK4 IB our older child, but made the best of things at another public program two miles from home, feeling fortunate to have access to any free, quality ECE program as a middle-class family (not the case is most cities in this country).  Time flies, then you land at your IB school for K, appreciating the quality and convenience of the opportunity.

When families have to dash between a couple schools for pick-up because siblings are separated, bad things happen all around - e.g. kids not getting picked up on time over and over, creating headaches for schools, parents and kids. The arrangement may be unfair, and I'm a little surprised that, to my knowledge, nobody with an only child has sued the city over it (situation seems ripe for a class action suit brought by the parents of onlies).  However, in the grand scheme of things, the policy still makes sense.  [/quote]
