[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Totally disheartened by a system that gives you the impression of great choices but then dangles them in front of you like candy you can never reach.

This is not how charters are supposed to work, is it? Why can't they expand to absorb the crazy demand?[/quote]

Sorry, but you sound like a two-year-old[/quote]

Agree but then again this is Wound Licking Day for many, so I get the knee-jerk "it's not fair" responses. [/quote]

NP. I get the disappointment, but saying "it's not fair" is still petulant because it usually (especially today) means that someone else got something that you wanted or felt you deserved. Everyone is paying the taxes, and someone always gets in. Be as disappointed as you gotta be, but lose the entitlement. Your kid doesn't deserve that 1 PK3 seat any more than the kid who got it.[/quote]

Well... it is inherently unfair. We're all paying taxes and only some of us are getting free pre-k. [/quote]
Everyone in DC could have free PreK if they want it. If you don't want the school, that's your problem but every year there are Dcps schools that have open spots. [/quote]

why do you keep posting this.  Nobody is going to say commute from Petworth to Capitol Heights for an open spot.  [/quote]

Then they need to own that. There are seats available. Stop saying you were "shut out" and "have no options." There are options, but you don't want to take them.[/quote]

What's your point?  For all that people talk about "free daycare," what PK parents are looking for is a longterm school.  It just happens to (often) start at PK here, so that's where we're all starting.  In the long term, a severely low performing school that adds 2 hrs to your (and your kid's) commute time daily is not really an option.  [/quote]

But isn't that what most people do to get to an HRCS?  Most HRCSs would add two hours to my daily commute time because almost all of them are in Ward 5.[/quote]
