[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]130 open slots for 5th grade. MAYBE 10-20 for 6th grade. You do the math and then figure out why people feel the need to apply for 5th grade rather than wait for 6th.[/quote] Sure, if Basis is your be all and end all, then taking a shot at it for 5th grade is no-brainer, whether your child is ready or not. However, if you're in the market for any of the good middle school slots, then it's neither a necessary nor a wise strategy.[b] In that case, you need to look at the aggregate supply and demand of the entire "5th going into 6th" middle school market in DC. And that, I argue, is seeing a growth in supply that outpaces the growth in demand. [/b]In that case, waiting is a much better bet if you're sitting on the demand side of the market.[/quote] Yes, price elasticity, etc. The theory doesn't need to be explained. The market options, however, do.[/quote]
