[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine what it must be like to have preK for your 3-year-old.

Still, we can't complain. We're better off than the MoCo schools across Western Avenue who pack 28 kids into a classroom and don't have preK, period. [/quote]

You still have preK for your kid, just not at Janney.  You choose to not use it.[/quote]

Hmm.  E[b]xcept if you *do* use it, people will slam you for taking slots that they wanted[/b].  So you can have PK3, but only in schools that few other people want to use.[/quote]

A couple anonymous posts on DCUM are gonna scare you off? Please. [/quote]

Right?  If you're going to do it, presumably you're okay with the effects it might have on other families.  So why would you care that people criticize you?  You can't have it both ways.  People always want to be able to do whatever they want and not have anyone disagree, but that's just not how life works.  [/quote]

NP. Would you cast the same judgment on an EOTP family who takes a PK spot at a school and keeps playing the lottery to trade up? Because that's what happens all the time all over the city and is evidence that Ward 3 families who use EOTP PK and then move on to their IB have no more of a negative effect on other families than those who keep playing the lottery to optimize their school choice. Not to mention that there are people at desirable EOTP schools, such as Brent or Shepherd, who may not get into their IB PK and do the same thing before entering their neighborhood school. But somehow kids from WOTP get singled out as "squatters".[/quote]

My point is that who cares if people "cast judgment" on you?  Either you're secure that what you're doing is right for your family and fair for the community, or you're not.  And if you are, then why isn't that enough?  Why does everyone have to agree with you, too?[/quote]

Why do you think I want everyone to agree with me? I'm just making an argument about the topic at hand, and it is that you're passing some oddly distorted moral judgment[b] if you think Ward 3 families are somehow less entitled to participate in the lottery for public PK in DC and are somehow acting less fairly to the community than families EOTP doing the same thing.[/b] Just calling out your hypocrisy, that's all. [/quote]

Well, I don't think either of those things, so you're calling out nothing.  [/quote]
