[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So your child benefited from universal screening because you convinced yourself she wouldn’t get in if she/you had elected to apply.

Um, ok.

LOL.....  I was thinking the same thing - Mom of the year right there.[/quote]

Hi, it’s the “Mom of the year,” here. We decided not to apply to the CES two years ago because we had a family situation that made having all of our children at the same elementary school preferable...but once universal screening was implemented and dd actually got into a CES, it was harder to let things such as the logistical difficulties of having our children at different schools or the difference between a short walk to the excellent neighborhood school versus a long bus ride to a special program at a different school stand in the way of sending our child to a CES. Feelings change once getting in is no longer theoretical. Yes, I did say that I thought my dd had a slim chance of getting into a middle school magnet (which everyone does, even if they have high test scores!), but the point I was trying to make was that knowing dd would be considered automatically again, I didn’t even have to think about whether to apply to a magnet. I don’t know whether we would have applied under the old system, but it doesn’t matter under the new system.[/quote]
