[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am very much not a troll and I agree that there is a lot of entitlement on this thread.  First, this is a poor city that had for many years extremely poor citizens.  The city designed the free PS and PK as an offshoot of Head Start to provide free early education to kids whose parents can't afford it.  It's great that you would prefer to have your child spend time with a nanny or you and only attend preschool part time.  Then do that. [b] But it is entitled to demand that the city offer you the free preschool that you want in addition to the free preschool that the city believes the poor children of this city need.[/b]  Second, the problem that people seem to have really stems from your own decision to live in a neighborhood that does not offer a school that you find acceptable.  Living here requires trade offs.  If you choose to live in the biggest house you can afford in a transitional neighborhood then you have to play the lottery and take the full day PS and PK.  If you want to pick your preschool and still have a guaranteed K then you will have to move to a neighborhood that allows that.[/quote]

That's not the issue at all.  I'd have been more than happy to continue to pay for private preschool.  It's that by making that choice, I dramatically reduce my chances of getting into a good charter school or OOB for kindergarten.  Because entry years are pre-S and pre-K, if you prefer to not use the full-day pre-K, options are significantly limited.  [/quote]
