[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the people who are like, 'oh, you'll be fine!'  Listen - I live in NE and we lost the charter lottery many, many times. Ended up at Tyler for two years, which was a NIGHTMARE.  Now homeschooling for a year while we prepare for a move to MoCo. [/quote]

It's very unusual to strike out this badly.  Everyone I know got into somewhere acceptable by K.

[b]OP, I know it sucks to pay for private preschool, but that's what people in lots of other places have to do.  I wouldn't pull up and leave a home and neighborhood you like over just one or two years of private.[/b]  Start saving now if you're that concerned.[/quote]

If PP doesn't even consider any of the schools she can likely get into acceptable for PK, how are things going to look beyond that? I suppose you assume that she should plan on potentially paying for private preschool while continuing to play the lottery and getting really lucky by K, but if her demands are so high she can't even find a PK program with a decent chance to lottery into (there are still some true "safeties" available that are perfectly acceptable for PK IMO), she should know that she will likely move after that or pay for private for much more than one or two years. It is very possible to strike out three times in a row when it comes to the really desirable schools.[/quote]
