[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those that worry about not getting into PK3 and PK4 at IB schools, you'll get in for K, right? Is the worry schooling for the two preK years mainly?[/quote]

Yes the worry is the massive cost of two years private preschool.  Plus commute. Plus other IB kids building friendships and community that you aren't a part of. [/quote]

Commute and costs, sure.  But 3 year old friendships and PTA "friendships" are really not something to worry about. [/quote]

But when the push comes to shove and you have to organize your community (because of budget cuts or to add a program), you'll find people who are united around a neighborhood school are much more effective advocates. And it makes cookouts, playdates and evening activities at school much more viable!

Charters really serve to dilute any unified political capital parents have.[/quote]

I'm all for building community and agree that neighborhood schools can be a great facilitator, but you're a bit overstated for me. For me community is a goal unto itself and not just a means to advocate for more services. [/quote]
