[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had four kids attend APS elementary schools.  Two went all the way through the same school.  Two went to three different schools, starting at one neighborhood school, switching to a choice school after we moved, then switching to the neighborhood school where we moved to after the choice school underwhelming us.

All four kids survived equally.

This is not a big deal.  [/quote]

That’s a lot of disruption you put your kids through. I guess they’re still alive, that’s all that matters right? That they’re alive.  [/quote]

Oh go f_ck yourself.

If the worst thing that happens to a kid is that they start off at a school like Nottingham and end up at a school like Tuckahoe they will have had a pretty damned good life.   [/quote]

Not PP but you did put your kids through a lot of schools. Glad it worked out well for you - not every child can deal with that amount of transition. [/quote]

Oh spare me the drama.  We moved from the first school after one finished kindergarten and the other first grade.  We figured we’d try a choice school since we were moving anyway, but after a semester it was obvious that the choice school was no better than the new neighborhood school was reputed to be and we couldn’t justify the daily commute for the kids, so we pulled them sooner rather than later and enrolled them in the new neighborhood school.  So they ended up there in the middle of first grade for one and the middle of second grade for the other and from there went all the way through.

Both ended up at HBW for middle and high school after that, so another 7 years in the same school.

They had zero issues adjusting when they were 6 and 7 and we were all just trying to figure things up.  Believe me.

You people have the definition of White People Problems.  [/quote]

Who wins 2 HBW and 2 lottery elementary schools?  Something doesn’t fade up. You have connections or have an angel on your shoulder.  Not representative [/quote]

The choice school wasn’t ATS, and I believe that at the time it also had a sibling preference.  As for HBW, that was pure luck.  [/quote]
