Clearly you are within your rights to go to other schools.  Have you even tried to think about it from the other perspective, though?  Even for just a second, to try to get where others are coming from?  To understand why they'd rather have families commit to the school long-term rather than have a sizable percentage of the PK class disappear after one year?[/quote]
I understand your point, but the thing is that there is no "they".  There is no seniority or hierarchy in a public school.  "They" are just parents like everyone else.  They don't have any more rights that the newcomers, and they don't get to choose or even have an opinion on who "they" would rather have join the school.  It's simply not up to them. [/quote]

NP here.  I don't think you understand their point at all.  The person clearly agreed about it not changing rights, and we're all entitled to hold our own opinions.

Take this for example:  As an IB parent at a rising school, you meet two OOB parents.  One is IB at a school WOTP but didn't get in there for PK, and is clearly leaving ASAP.  The other is IB for a somewhat worse off school and is interested in sticking with this other school all the way through.
Who do you think the IB parent spends more time getting to know?  "They" get to have whatever opinion they want - it simply is up to them.  "They" don't get to change anyone's right - that is simply not up to them.[/quote]
