[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have two children at a Title 1 school.

The more posts on DCUM I read about 2nd grade onward always makes me nervous.

I really want to stay at this school until 5th, and we probably will. But the idea that my kid(s) friends may all leave by the time 3rd grade rolls around really stinks.

Ask around and see what happens at your kids' school, but that just wasn't our experience. Yes, some kids left, but the ones who were planning on lotterying for Latin/BASIS stuck around through fourth, probably because they didn't want to change schools twice. [/quote]

The parents we have come close with say they will stay.. so that does give me hope. But I tend to think they wont for a "winning" lottery ticket. They do the lottery "for fun" each year type thing tells me for the right win- they will bounce.

And I am not saying I blame them! I just have not thought about the lottery for years and it has been much less anxiety haha[/quote]

At our school I find some of the most vocal parents are the ones playing the lottery every year.  Like making comments about other families who leave but trying to leave themselves.  I generally don't put much weight into families who say they are staying.  Most won't.[/quote]
