[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child is of age to enter the lottery or enroll why would you cnsider a person to take a spot just for free childcare? [/quote]

The EotP DCPS schools start offering free childcare for 3 y.o.  People who can afford private pre-school have been known to take these spots, only to move on at the earliest opportunity.  This leads to bad feelings.[/quote]

If you can afford taking a cab, is it an ethical obligation to avoid the metro during rush hour?[/quote]

This.
There is no income threshold precluding me from enrolling DC in and EotP DCPS program at age 3. So we did, at an OOB school that is decent for early childhood. The next year we got into a better charter option, took it and ran. Until there is an income requirement as part of the lottery, we all take our chances this way. I'm not sure it's right, but just because I could afford private PS, that does not mean I have to when I live in a city that offers it for "free."[/quote]
