[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents of 2nd and 3rd graders need to be paying attention to this thread. [/quote]

I went to several elementary schools, two middle schools, and several high schools (my parents worked internationally) but was never short on friends a month or so into any given school year.  Why are PP's sounding so concerned about where the friends end up?  Most kids are able to make new friends if they have to, and you can keep neighborhood friends (through sports, scouts, church/temple etc.) and even moved-to-the-burbs or Upper NW friends if you try, even if the kids no longer attend the same school.  Not ideal, but perhaps good preparation for life to branch out socially post ES.  '

When you rely on a computer in the sky to assign in-demand MS spots, with no change in sight for years to come, of course your family could land on the losing side with few or no appealing options come the start of the school year. Parents of 2nd and 3rd graders in our in-boundary school seem to have their heads around this.
