[quote=Anonymous]"If you're a parent willing to sacrifice even a single year of your young child's education on a questionable school with a track record of underachievement that's your silly choice" I don't blame you for not wanting to send your child to "a questionable school with a track record of underachievement." But that's what my family did, until my preschool son was able in January to join our older child at our first choice DCPS school. You know what, he started at the new school (highly desirable, waitlists over 300) ahead of many of his peers. We saved thousands in daycare. I really don't see it as a silly choice at all. I would encourage people to take a look at the preschool programs at their neighborhood schools even if the third graders and fifth graders don't perform well on standardized tests. For my family, I am glad we did. It was sad to move my son, but I feel really glad that I can call BS on neighborhood people who say our in-boundary school sucks without having walked through the door. [/quote]
