[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm wondering if this is finally reaching the tipping point as there are enough parents that have lost in the lottery process getting to leadership positions. The issue is, if you have a current 1st grader or up, you don't understand how bad it is. The fact that 9 IB sibling families didn't get in through the lottery last year (mind you there were only 10 in the entire city) should have been a wake up call.  [/quote]

Leadership positions?  How bad it is?  Parents with kids who are in K or younger lack perspective that comes with having ushered an older kid through the elementary grades.  Being an inbound family excluded from PK at Brent sucks, particularly if you have an older kid already attending but it's hardly the end of the world.  How many IB families with sibling preference were excluded from PK3 as the result of this year's lottery?  It's fair to question whether mixed-age classrooms make the most sense, and it's also fair to ask if maintaining PK4 is the best use of limited resources in terms of serving the larger community, even if Central Office is unlikely to allow Brent to phase out PK3, but don't blow things out of proportion.
