[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC education has become the quintessential example of "relative deprivation".[b] DC - public and charter - have many good to excellent options for PS3 and PK4 (and not only that!), not to mention that this is one of the very few states in the entire US that even offer publicly funded early childhood education.[/b] Sure, you can move to the suburbs, but you'll wait another two years (K) until there are even any spots to be had. Sound better? And when you do, you'll have about 1 (one) choice. Seriously, get your act together, stop with the whining, and get involved if this still doesn't cut it![/quote]

This completely misses the point.  The competition for PS3 and PK4 slots in the best DCPS and DCPCS programs isn't primarly about access to free childcare (for many people, at least).  It's driven by the fact that those PS3 and PK4 slots are the best, and often the only way to get into the elementary program.  When applying to schools, I crossed many good to excellent programs off the list because K-5 at those schools was NOT good to excellent.  People are looking for options for more than the next 2 years, and telling them that the terrible DCPS down the street has a good early education program doesn't help at all.  [/quote]
