[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Changed rankings 1 time today. Also having remorse over even entering the lottery. We are at HRCS and don't even know if we'd leave. Serious case of grass is not always greener. [/quote]

Having the same issue, but we are at an up and coming DCPS. I entered last year and it drove me nuts because we were matched with out #1 pick, but turned it down due to the commute.[/quote]

Maybe that's a silly question but how does it work if you turn down your #1 school and so you are not on one waiting list, how do you still get into a school? From what I understand you can't do Round 2 if you were matched. [/quote]

And people wonder why the lottery is so screwy.  If she had just done her research on the front end, this wouldn't have happened?  Did she not know about the commute?  I don't understand why she ranked it #1 if she knew about the commute.  This is what is so frustrating to me about the lottery people like the poster here - she was in a school, went through the lottery - got matched and then...turned it down because, WAH she didn't want to drive in her car?

Oh, for heaven's sake. Don't get in a twist. People turning down lottery spots is NOT why the lottery is difficult.[/quote]

No, people entering for fun is.[/quote]

NP, seriously? You think someone entering and turning down a spot is what makes the lottery difficult? How about just not having enough available good seats for the thousands of children who want them? THAT's what makes the lottery difficult: that good seats are a scarce resource.[/quote]
