[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But the schools are insecure about whether or not they will land any of the most prized kids.  [/quote]
It's troubling to think that 4/5/9 year olds are "prized kids" to be landed when there's not much to distinguish them.[/quote]

Yes, agreed.  The whole process is crazy and distasteful when you think about it.  Especially when "prized" is based on things like race or wealth--both things that kids were just born with but elevate them above other kids.

I don’t get this “prized” theory. For pk or k maybe but after that all admitted students are accepted depending on many factors, one being that they “round out” the current class they would be joining. What will round out the riding 6th grade at one school is not the same as what will round out another group of kids at another school. They might need more sporty kids in one and more musical, introverted children in another. [/quote]
