[quote=Anonymous][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]

How is the school overall? Bethune is the only school that my PK3, 2nd and 3rd grader all got into. I've heard the the younger grades are fine (good, caring teachers, kids are learning Spanish, etc) but how are the upper grades? Do parents and children seems happy? Are they learning? Thanks if you can shed some light. I plan to attend an open house next week. [/quote]
