This is DCUM's version of Does Pete Rose Belong In the Hall of Fame?

As has been said, every first entering child has the same chances with, I guess, a distinct advantage for twins/triplets and families with multiple children moving to DC.

I suspect most people against sibling preference aren't families with one child who misguidedly consider it unfair, but IB boosters who recognize it would drive people from even considering charters since they'd mostly likely be headed to their IB once their second child reached school age.[/quote]

From a fairness perspective there are problems both with sibling preference and OOB-feeder rights.

A kid who wins a seat in the lottery for a Deal feeder this spring has the right to attend Deal and Wilson through 2032. His siblings have a leg up to get in the same position.

The gulf between those who win the prize and those who miss out is enormous.[/quote]

But because it’s a random lottery, everyone has an equal shot the first time. Low income families probably benefit from sibling preference because they tend to have more children. [/quote]
