[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was me a few years ago.  Not the resentment part but the being shut out time and time again part.  I also had a townhouse that was bought long long ago and moving wasn't impossible but would of been very difficult to do.  So you know what I did?  My kid went to a crappy school for K and 1.  Its really not the end of the world.  There are good teachers everywhere...even in schools that are failing.  I dedicated myself to being an active parent, to volunteer, to get to know my teacher, to not write off the school or act above it, and I was honestly a little sad to leave when we did get into a charter.  Yes some DCPS are very "bad" but having spent a lot of time in a "bad" school there is good to be found in any situation.  Kindergarden isn't rocket science.

[b]THANKS!  Fortunately my kid already knows how to read and write pretty well so the pressure is off on that front![/quote][/b]

OMG OP get over yourself[/quote]

Huh?  I actually though this was very good advice.  No sarcasm intended - if you were PP who wrote this I appreciated it.  However, it is also a fact that my child can read and write and this does make me feel better because I know there is no way that she will fall behind in kindergarten, at least.  Logically I feel comfortable that she will do just fine at almost any school for K.  But it's the dwindling options for the longer term that make me really frustrated.  And the logical part doesn't stop me from feeling upset that we don't have our dream school (or even a passable one)[/quote]
