[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a part of me that finds the whole process really unjust, especially for something as important as a child's education.  It's left completely to chance.  We didn't get shut out completely -- got into our IB school -- but it wasn't one of our top choices because it isn't a viable long term option.  So my choices now are either to play this totally random lottery again next year and hope my kid gets lucky, pay for private school, or move.  It sucks.[/quote]

Or go to your neighborhood school. Interesting how you don't list that as a choice.[/quote]

I found that interesting too - go and make it better! [/quote]

I'm the PP who said that the process seems unjust.   Apparently neither of you PPs bothered to actually read my post.  I DID list my IB school, it just wasn't a top choice.  We are matched with our IB school and that's the school we will be attending.  Parents have been working hard to improve our IB school for at least the last EIGHT years now.  These schools don't turn around overnight, or in our case, almost a decade.  But thanks for your advice!   :roll: [/quote]
