[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually think sibling preference for PK3/4 where no one is guaranteed school at all is pretty shitty. Why should the family w/ kids basically automatically not have to pay for school/the nanny, but the family with no other kids does?

After that, once everyone is guaranteed at least their IB? No concerns; I can understand why it's better for everyone if sibs can be in the same school.[/quote]

Yep that is the point I was making above about Baby 4 versus Baby 1 at a neighborhood school.  Doesn’t make sense. [/quote]

Waah!  I don't want to pay for a nanny!  I want free childcare!  Waah!  It's not fair that people get something I don't get!  Waah!  [/quote]

I’m the poster who said above that I disagree with sibling preference for ECE at neighborhood schools.  In case it’s relevant, I have three kids.  I’m not complaining about what some people get that I don’t get (my family has benefitted and not benefitted from sibling preference, depending on the kid).  But I still believe that each 3 or 4 year old IB for a school should have an equal shot at ECE, without sibling preference. I also said I agree with an economic preference, which would not benefit us.  But I do think each of my three kids should have had the same shot (setting aside the changing size of the cohort each year). Maybe that would mean none of them would get in for PK3 (as it was 1 out of 3 did) or maybe all. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this and I really don’t believe in sibling preference for ECE st neighborhood schools. [/quote]
