[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s a thought experiment: what if there were an IB preference at neighborhood schools for firstborn children only? That would be more equitable in the sense that every parent has one child, but not every parent has more than one child. It would encourage neighborhood adoption of the neighborhood school by getting new families to try it out every year. And as for the second children? They’d all be in the general pot with the same shot each. [/quote] How would you enforce it? The more rules and hurdles you create, the more people will figure out a way to cheat (e.g. Mom enrolls first kid; Dad enrolls second). [/quote] I said it was a bought experiment for a reason. Yes, extremely hard to enforce but in some ways more equitable than sibling preference. [/quote]
