[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+2. They have never hosted a kindergarten fair. They used to hold a very useful school choice forum (where parents told about their experience picking schools) before the lottery closed.  They didn't this year -- I don't know why.  The last forum I went to the parents were equally split between publics and charters, with no private representation that I can remember.  [/quote]

I wonder if they stopped out of concern that the BTDT parents' info is rapidly becoming out of date.  Someone mentioned that in last year's forum, many parents stated that they found that their initial school pick was not right for their child or the commute was difficult, so they lotteried in to some other HRCS.  I wonder if there is a perception that getting a lottery spot later is becoming a less viable option.  [/quote]

Been a member of the DC twins list serve for many years -- it's just a yahoo list serve!  Seriously!  The sparse postings are typically about selling or giving away stuff, feeding and sleeping advise/commiseration, and things like asking about how come everyone asks if your boy/girl twins are identical :)  My understanding is the parents who were nice enough to organize a basic informational school forum (and also who used to organize a Halloween costume party & clothes swap) have "aged out" of doing it as their children got older & no one else has picked up the baton to keep it going as of now.

+1. The poster who suspects a conspiracy of any sort is seriously paranoid. This is the only DC parents of multiples group, since DC unfortunately doesn't have a formal club. It has nothing to do with either Mt. Pleasant or schools.[/quote]
