[quote=Anonymous]Also, to the PP who says PK is not guaranteed in DC. That's not true! It's just not guaranteed at your IB school (actually it is guaranteed at my IB school because I live in a part of DC that you are probably afraid to drive through -- my child is guaranteed an IB spot in PK as long as we enter the lottery).

If you want to send your kid to PK in DC, you can do so. There are always available slots on September 1st. But families IB for a select group of UNW public schools can't get PK spots at their overcrowded elementary schools (which s why you want to toss out those PK programs to squeeze your older child into that same overcrowded school now), so they think it's not guaranteed. Sure it is! You just aren't willing to send your kid to one of the schools where there are spots available. You probably exclusively list the highest rated publics and the impossible-to-get-into charters on your lottery and then get mad when you don't get a spot.

But that's not what "universal PK" means. It means that a family who needs PK can get it. And that's exactly what DC offers. Or should.[/quote]
