[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dealing with the school lottery over the years, I am conflicted about the sibling preference option. (I have one kid).

I get it for preschool/elementary school--it's easier for the family.

But for middle and high school? Seriously? The goose keeps laying the golden eggs for these people.

What opinions do you have about it?

My opinion.. find another pet issue to get upset about...  [/quote]

+1. OP, stop being selfish because you are unwilling to try to understand how, without this preference, DC would be a lot less desirable for families with more than one child.[/quote]

+1 sibling preference is a rational, good policy that helps the family and in turn helps the school community and the District. When you and your one child are finished at your elementary school, for instance, and no longer offer your support through volunteering, families with multiple children are. Their investment is longer and therefore more valuable. DC will never touch sibling preference. It’s a solid policy. Pick some other “chip on your shoulder” issue to waste your time on [/quote]
