[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone on the K waitlist for SD, but who is much closer to Kingsbury, please reconsider taking a spot to “try out” the commute, knowing it’s going to be too difficult and you’ll likely bail in a year or two. Our family getting off the waitlist means we don’t have to choose between a cross town commute to somewhere like Hyde or moving out of the city. It’s your spot, you can of course do with it what you want, but just wanted to put it out there that there are other families who would give an arm and a leg for that spot.[/quote]

Omg. I really cannot believe I just read this ... and that is saying something for DCUM. You're not entitled to someone else's spot just because you think you want it more. This is just crazy.[/quote]

Pretty much par for the dcum course id actually say. [/quote]

I don’t think “be thoughtful before using a limited commodity“ is particularly crazy, but Americans aren’t known for community mindedness, now are they. [/quote]

I take it back. This topped the original comment in terms of DCUMing itself. You can spin this however you want but your post was extraordinarily entitled sounding and not at all about community mindedness, which is entirely unrelated to your request. You want another family to skip attending one of the city's highest rated charter schools because you happen to live close by ... unless they can say for certain they will stick with the commute for 5 years. And you have no idea if there are any families in this situation anyway. For all you know, the person taking the spot you want also lives close to Kingsbury. [/quote]
