[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The OP is arguing for no sibling preference.  But others are more reasonably saying ice it only for 5+ middle schools and high schools.  All of the future Euclid ES schools (Seaton Cleveland Garrison) now feed to SWWFS.[/quote]

OP here and if you actually read my post I'm not arguing for anything -- I just feel frustrated by the fact that we compete against families with sibling preference for spots and that puts my kid at a disadvantage in the lottery. I'm not actually making a policy argument -- just venting as a means of getting through the waitlist limbo we are in this summer.[/quote]

You'll eventually be fine, OP! I have older kids and live EOTP and have seen many people play the lottery year after year -- everyone eventually ends up in a good spot (even if it sometime means a long commute). And it's truly random, I've seen siblings both get nothing, and only children get a golden ticket (Latin 1, if that's what they wanted.) my older son got a path on the strength of his own lottery luck, eventually. enjoy the early years when the stakes are low, and have faith that you'll get on a good path eventually.[/quote]
