[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, I'm hoping this thread won't derail into the same Cap Hill middle school drama. Anyone whose kids are at Jefferson right now?

I'm not opposed to sending DS to Jefferson, actually, but he only wants to go if his friends are going, and I'm worried they'll pull out at last minute if they get a spot at Latin or wherever. [/quote]

They will probably lottery and you should too.  Even if they don't talk about it.  You can ask them after the results come out what they are thinking.  [b]Then you will know if you even have options.[/b][/quote]

I wouldn't count on Hill parents who aren't close friends to be forthcoming about their MS plans after lottery results come out. Parents have a tendency to be cagey about their MS options, keeping their options under wraps. Plenty will make general statements like "We're considering all options," and "We've enrolled at Jefferson" (meaning the kid may or may not ever attend).[/quote]

I totally agree with this statement. I just want to offer an alternative perspective too. If you do decide to enroll your kids in a charter you’ll never stop hearing “well meaning” neighbors issue obnoxious passive aggressive comments about “abandoning” dcps. [/quote]
