[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]39 kids registered for 5th grade at Brent next year. Whatever happens, it's gonna be an interesting year.[/quote]

And zero will attend Jefferson.[/quote]

I am betting that there won't be 39 by Sept 1, as the Latin and BASIS waitlist move.[/quote]

I don't understand why people are so negative about this. So what if it isn't 39. It certainly will be more than the 26 that were there this year. If some of those parents send their kids to Jefferson, why is that so offensive?[/quote]

Because it makes those who wavered but ultimately got cold feet and are now spending hours in buses and cars and hunched over too much homework too late at night - with maybe not so much to show for - feel uncomfortable. It is so very much more reassuring if you find that what you decided against was indeed bad and that you made the good choice. It's immature and testimony to the need for validation. It's also human nature, and I've seen people own up to it and grow from it.[/quote]
