[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Community tensions" because some in boundary families got shut out of preschool? It's hard to be sympathetic about that considering it's a lottery. That neighborhood's three-year-olds don't need it, either. [/quote] Special circumstances intervened, in case you missed it. Not only were 30 in-boundary families shut out of preschool by the 2013 lottery, they were shut out automatically a second time when Brent didn't open any PreK spots for them. The LSAT helped make these decisions. If you think that excluding 40% of families in one cohort before K bodes well for school community cohesiveness, and fund-raising for that matter, tell us what logic you're following. [/quote] My logic is this: PS and pre-K are a lottery. Reasonable people shouldn't be pissed off that they did not win free child care for two years. Talk about entitlement! [/quote]
