[quote=Anonymous]Three years ago I entered DS into the YY lottery, not because I cared so much about Mandarin or language immersion, but because I wanted to keep our family's options as open as possible. When we got a waitlist number in the 90s I was actually relieved, because I knew in my heart that I really was not interested in YY. But in D.C. where many local schools are simply not an option and where waitlists as desirable charters are unwieldy and unpredictable, you simply have to maintain as many potentially viable options as possible. It's not perfect but until there are adequate seats at desirable schools for families who want and need them, the madness will continue. Thankfully, fate intervened and we got into our top DCPS choice three weeks after school started. Every single day when I'm driving the four miles to take my son there, I thank my lucky stars. We won the lottery. Now for child #2...we'll see...[/quote]
