[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Literally just got an email from TPMS welcoming my rising 5th grader. I guess I don't have to wait for the mail!

Same. My kid isn't going to want to go though. [/quote]

Then, don’t send them. Let the spot go to an enthusiastic participant.[/quote]

Easier said than done. Hard to pass up a decent school when our home school is so, so much worse. I’m hoping to get off the waitlist at Eastern, since humanities is more my child’s speed, but will probably take TPMS in the meantime. Too bad individual families can’t trade![/quote]

I agree, trading should be allowed. Eastern turned my math/science-focused child into a humanities-focused child and I didn't anticipate that. Hard to undo the intense training.[/quote]

If they allowed trades, it would interfere with the independence aspects of the lotteries.  Getting into one would mean a greater chance of ending up at the other, as there would be both the initial lottery for that and the potential to trade.

That wouldn't be as important if there were enough seats, or, as in the case of the DCC choice process, eventual allocation for all students among the available locations, whether overcrowded or not.

The one swap that might make sense would be upcounty for downcounty within the same program, say TPMS for Clemente for students who happen to be moving to opposite catchments.[/quote]
