[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Op, I am confused. Are you asserting that the unprepared K kids result from IB students who don't get into ECE at their neighborhood schools? If they applied- they would beat out the OB kids, right? So the problem is that folks IB for your school don't want ECE. Your beef is not with OOB folks- but with your IB population. [/quote]

This is exactly right.  The OOB kids don't get in unless there are available slots after all the IB kids are placed.  What OP really is arguing for is that her school's PS and PK classes remain under-enrolled rather that be filled with kids who are IB at JKLM.  Which is, of course, ridiculous.  She's also claiming that the presence is these children results in underprepared IB kindergarteners.  Equally ridiculous.

No. OP here.  We want our classes full. But at K we get OOB kids who are underprepared who could have been in our school since PK3 but were displaced by Ward 3 families who were space hogging for a year or two.  Surely you remember what it feels like to have students who need a bit of a lift JKLM?

Seems like Ward 3's progressive values go out the window when they have can free daycare.[/quote]
