[quote=Anonymous][quote]Ha, so spreading their families across the city is the best way to support neighborhood schools? You can't claim to have the school's best interest at heart when you a) don't care enough to live nearby and b) don't care if class sizes become unsustainable because people game the system by renting IB for a year or faking the address.

If you can't get back into the school OOB, it's because there are plenty of IB families moving in. And guess what? Middle class families are the ones buying up all those houses. Yes, you and your child have probably been an asset to the school. But don't pretend that they're not going to be fine without you.

I get that you think your circumstances (shopping close but not quite IB) warrant an exception. But the fact is that principal discretion has been applied very haphazardly and there ARE people who want to game the system.[/quote]

Not our circumstances. I know you want to think I'm all about the sour grapes, but hardly. YOUR circumstances, perhaps. We're great.

But I have to wonder about the kind of mindset of a woman who thumbs their nose at a child who's happy at their elementary school, with their friends, and has decided, based on income, that they are no longer welcome at the public school that has been educating them. I really do wonder. Seriously, New York is a cut throat kind of place? But we're not assholes. [/quote]
