[quote=Anonymous]People who are fondly remembering the old system forget the complaints. Applications necessarily done online - people had to run all over town to submit applications and some got lost. Lack of transparency or trust in the lottery draws because they were done at each school. The multiple different deadlines. And the people who sat on multiple yes's meaning significant student movement for weeks into the new year. There are simply more people entering the lottery now than 4-5 years ago. And not enough new seats have been created to keep up with demand. That's the reason for the tightness you are feeling. It is deeply related to the shortage of real estate appropriate for a school which has slowed the charter sector growth significantly. This was a DCPS strategy to maintain / increase market share. And it's working. [/quote]
