[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We refused to consider our IB. I think it’s a legitimate and justifiable choice. We did have other nearby safety schools.[/quote]

Please tell me your reasoning for refusing to consider your IB school and what that school was. [/quote]

For me, it was because they were so many better options available. If our child had drawn a bad number, I would have taken the step of considering vs. another year of preschool, but it never came to that.[/quote]

What do you mean when you say drawn a bad number? I've been on this forum for the last two days and I keep seeing people refer to the numbers that they are given as good or bad. I am so confused. I'm starting to feel like I am way in over my head, but I just want whats best for my kid. [/quote]

You really need to go to the My School website and read about how the lottery works.

Simple version: You enter the lottery by submitting a list of up to 12 schools, ranked in order of preference.  After the deadline, everyone is randomly assigned a "master number."  If your master number is 1, then you are the first person that the system considers.  It will run down your list, and you will be offered a spot at the first school that has a spot.  If your master number is 7,242, then you are the 7,242nd person that the system considers, so it's much less likely that there will be spots left.  [/quote]
