[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bethune has always just kind of applied their own lottery rules.  Fudge birth deadlines, etc.  Why DCPCSB doesn't take this seriously is beyond me[/quote]

It was really a s&^%show last year. Why don't they do My School DC?[/quote]

Because then they wouldn't be able to fill their seats with younger kids and non residents. [/quote]

Correct...kind of. My daughter has a late birthday and turned 3 last year Nov 2016. I wasn't eligible for the common lottery but I had heard MMBDA accepted kids turning 3 until Dec 31. So I applied honestly with her correct birth date last year and I attended the lottery and she was selected at random. The lottery itself was odd but numbers were picked at random; I witnessed that much. Anyway, we we were thrilled and I'm grateful. I don't really get the Sept 30 rule anyway but whatevs. My daughter is enjoying school. We officially entered the common lottery this year for pk3 but we were matched to my #6 choice and I'd prefer to keep her at MMBDA for Spanish Immersion than go there. And they're going to advance her to pk4.  [/quote]
