[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NYC does indeed deal with overcrowding at desired schools but the way they handle it is to simply deny spaces to those IB.

"However, because of severe overcrowding in some neighborhoods and the popularity of certain schools, it is not always possible for your child to attend his or her zoned elementary school. If this happens, you will be placed on a waiting list. If by late spring your child is still on the waiting list for a zoned elementary school, the Department of Education’s Office of Student Enrollment will assign the child to another school outside his or her zone. "

How on earth is that a better solution? Your IB kid now cannot attend his neighborhood school -- if you want to address schools and  community fabrics, this is a rotten solution. And one that could never be replicated in DC due to the differences in density, geography and public transport.

We could then replicate the PK4 at Brent battles all over the city. Good times![/quote]

At least the spam families IB for Brent would be guaranteed a space at a nearby school.  [/quote]
