[quote=Anonymous]I agree this should not be a surprise.

That said, the uncertainty of the lottery and waitlist system set this up as a problem that will arise and the problems that will come of it are clearly foreseeable.  All parents have an incentive to get their kids in the best school possible.  They may, as OP did, get an opportunity for one child that will undermine the other’s options.  If OP’s older child received the offer 3 weeks into the school year and the younger was already an established student, I do not think this rule would apply.   By using sibling preference when the parents thought both would be at the first school the parents may have given up other options for the younger child that are no longer available.  I think no one is sympathetic to OP because she comes across as entitled and intentionally oblivious.  She clearly did not even attempt to have a conversation with the administration of the school that is taking back the slot for the PK 3 student.  But if the goal is to educate children, removing options like this could have some negative impacts to children that truly need the PK.[/quote]
