[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps this is a stupid question but what advantage does one have for sitting on multiple spots at the same time? They have to make a decision eventually. Is it just that they want to take as long as possible to decide? [/quote]

Not a stupid question, but all kinds of answers. Some people just want to leave their options open to have time to think, and don't care about being jerks. Others are waiting to find out if before or after care will work. Some might also be waiting to see if a sibling gets off a waitlist at their preferred choice, so the kids can go to the same school.

This is real. Some sought after, new or expanding schools are often short on details regarding before and after care. Parents are often holding two spots in response to insufficient information. The same is true regarding sibling preference. This is the cost of doing business in the charter world.

I once held two spots because I could not get sufficient program information. I chose a school with an experienced, mature administration. It was the right choice.[/quote]
