[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.

[b]Why should I care that sibling preference is a "huge help" to you? It is patently unfair to my child with no older sibling. Sibling preference has got to go. [/b][/quote]

You do realize that there are one of us who don't have children 2-3 years apart, so we had no sibling when my oldest was entering PS3. Having yo get yo and be involved in two different elementary schools that start and end at the same time is impossible. Much less volunteer or be involved with the pta at 2.[/quote]

Don't be a dolt.  It's obviously a benefit to the system as a whole to have families invested in a single school.

PP's family with 3 children is clearly more valuable than your single child. [/quote]
