[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]08:37 here.  Note that I put "substandard" in quotes, meaning allegedly substandard.  I agree that many of these schools are actually quite good, but as a veteran of this process, you will be unable to convince every parent (even those with kids there) that the school is fabulous.  The reality is, some parents will bolt the first time they hit a "better" (again, note the quotes) in the lottery, and nothing the school does will change their mind.  But perhaps some parents who get into the allegedly substandard schools (are you more comfortable if I spell it out like this?) might actually realize the school is good and stay there.  [/quote]

I'd be comfortable if you stop suggesting that people View their neighborhood school as a school of last resort that they should go to with the intent of leaving as soon as they can. Instead, the better advice is to check out your neighborhood school with an open mind and see if you think it would be a good for for your kid. That's the approach we took, and we have been really pleased. [/quote]
