[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is no one concerned about the impact on their kids moving schools so often? I remember changing schools in first grade and third and it was very tough both times. I did it again in ninth and it was also very hard. I’m sure some kids can manage better than others, but I feel like some parents are just changing schools because they are getting in a dream school without thinking of how hard it is to make new friends. Obviously, if your kid is miserable at a school, that’s a totally different story. I’d also be concerned about being in a school knowing there’s zero chance to stay in it with that friend group past a certain point. Just seems really tough on kids emotionally. [/quote]

OP here (surprised to see this pop up on recent topics). Yes I am concerned, which is partially why the lottery is stressful. I’d prefer to move DC once, but then that raises the question of whether you hold out for your top choice school. I will say, I think it’s much more normal for DC kids to have classmates come and go, and to move themselves, because of the lottery system. Especially if you’re not at a top choice charter, people leave constantly. I know people move their kids multiple times, but its something I’d rather not do if at all possible.[/quote]
