[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PPs who want sibling preference scrapped surely don't have siblings attending the same school. Dropping off the kids at the same place and dealing with one administration is a huge help to young families.  It's also helpful to the school, because parents who are charging between schools for drop-off and pick-up are stressed out, and less likely to help out than those who aren't charging between schools.  The window for picking kids up at the end of the school day is usually just 15 minutes.  If an individual parents can't make it from one school to another 15 minutes, things get complicated for the parent, child and school.  I can't see sibling preference being scrapped.  The political momentum for it isn't going to build. Single parents (and many low-income parents are single parents) would suffer the most.

Yes to all of that and add that the after/before care costs give sibling discounts for additional siblings. Not much, but paying full price for aftercare at two different schools is crazy. I did it one year and had to wake up early, drive one kid at a daycare at 7am a mile in one direction and then park and take my kid on a bus to his school then catch the metro to work. It was rough. Not to mention how that effects our choice in what daycares to choose.[/quote]

You could, of course, send all your kids to your neighborhood school.[/quote]

Perish the thought! I might as well move to Silver Springs with that other poster![/quote]
