[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although OP sounds entitled, I'm actually with her here.  School acceptances should not  be revoked for the year based on things like loss of a sibling preference.  That's just too disruptive in cases like this one.  The only reason to revoke an enrollment once it has been done should be for the child moving out of DC.  Yes, this means there might be people who appear to game the system on the margins, but if we're going to have a "choice" system, it can't be totally disruptive and arbitrary.  [/quote]

Let me guess -- and in a situation like this, the younger child should get to keep the spot next year, because it would be too disruptive to move after he already knew everyone?

Right.

Rules are there because people push further and further without boundaries.[/quote]

Yes, I think that's fine. Children shouldn't be disenrolled once they are enrolled, unless they move out of DC or their paperwork was fraudulent (boundary fraud).  I mean, what if the older child had to move schools due to a disability? Then the younger sibs get kicked out?  Doesn't make any sense.  [/quote]

My thoughts too - what if the older kid gets expelled or the parents withdraw to homeschool?  What if the older child simply transfers after count day? Is there a timeframe in which one sibling can move and the other can stay? Seems like there’s still a lot of gray area here [/quote]
