Im just laughing out of desperation.....[/quote]

You listed a lot of schools that don't take oob kids at PK3.  Why?[/quote]

cuz we have no IB PK3 in the ward we live.... :([/quote]

all you do is create instability in the schools you put your kids in for 1 year of prek3 or two years, if you don't get into your IB Ward 3 school for prek4.  You have ZERO intention of making a commitment to any of the schools on your list beyond a year.  For those of us who decide to put our kids in these charters and improving DCPS schools, and invest time and money in making them better, I say shame on you.  You drop in for a year, make no effort to become part of the parent community or do anything for the school, and as soon as you get into Janney or Mann, you bolt.  I seriously do not feel the least bit sorry for you that you don't get to take one of these spots from a family that has a shitty path all the way through high school.  If all you wanted was pre-k, you should have just signed up for Appletree schools.  [/quote]

We live in Ward 3 but spent two years of Pre-K at a Title 1 DCPS before moving on to our IB. We didn't create any more instability than the other UMC parents at the school, all of whom left before K, even though they were IB. [/quote]

I am IB at my title 1 school and like all the UMC families is trying to get my kid out by K.  Maybe if the school actually welcomed us instead of making us feel like interloping gentrifiers we would stick around.   They certainly like to take our money, time and influence.  But ask for more rigor and we are told to sit down and let the school handle these decisions.  UMC kids are a total after thought. So I don't care if there is "instability" because I know I am not the cause of it.  [/quote]
