[quote=Anonymous]Yes. That would be a pretty silly thing to lie about. We had to give up 20K in tuition which was incredibly painful, but we weighed it against the longterm costs of tuition (~40K+/yr), the fact we have multiple kids, and the reality that the lottery was highly unique last year and it wasn’t clear if we would ever have the opportunity to attend a strong public immersion program in the future (without the high cost of moving in bounds for those schools). It was a terribly difficult decision to make, but the right one for our family. We are a bilingual family and having our kids speak Spanish fluently is a huge priority for us - which is why we had signed up for WIS as a private school back up if public school was not an option. I’ll also add that at the time we left WIS, it was not clear if/when they would reopen. We both work full time and could not cover both tuition and at-home childcare. Again - all three schools are great options. WIS was very kind to us as we made this decision - especially during a really stressful time for everyone. You can’t go wrong with any of these choices.[/quote]
