[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask the CM folk at their open house. They should be forthcoming. Ask how the budget operates. [/quote]

LOL CM forthcoming, we are talking about the same school that had a private lottery drawing, correct?[/quote]

LOL.  To paraphrase the Yu Ying waitlist defenders, if it's legal, stop mocking us, hmphh.[/quote]

Stuff it, these are not the same situations at all.  YY's process has been reviewed over and over again - the waitlist based on application timestamp is allowed.  You don't like it, get the rules changed, but otherwise, shut up.  CM is NOT supposed to have a private lottery.  The PP who asked to go was not the only one who called and asked last year - I did as well, and I know one other.  We were told we could not attend.  That is against the rules.  They also didn't publicize their waitlist, which while that part part isn't specifically against the rules, after a private lottery it just added to the shadiness and lack of transparency that the private lottery started.  Then the rumors about late-added founding members (i.e. not really founders) getting their kids in...

Is CM saying they'll have a private lottery again this year, or will the public  be allowed to attend?  YY's lottery is public, and they publish the waitlist.

Do not put them in the same category, these situations are not comparable.[/quote]

Just wondering how you know YYs process has been reviewed "over and over again" do you work for YY?  How do you know CMs process hasn't been reviewed "over and over again"?

What makes you think that the PCSB reviews one schools lottery but not another?[/quote]

I should have been more specific.  I did not mean PCSB has reviewed YY's waitlist process over and over.  I meant that there have been PLENTY of people who have accused YY of having an unfair practice or not going by the books, and they've never been able to make their case.  And they have seriously tried!  CM, I have no idea who has brought what concerns to PCSB about their process, but I DO know they don't do a public lottery, I know there have been many publicly and privately raised concerns questioning the "straighforwardness" or lack thereof of their process, and I know I have not heard yet whether they will do a public lottery or not this year.

Has anyone called this year?  Will CM's lottery be public?[/quote]
