So funny! We gave up YY for Lee last year and don't regret it it at all. Love Lee!!

We are at SWS and will never do the lottery again, probably will do private for ms and hs but that's no time soon and would switch to mv cause its walking distance and language

Murch and Deal.

Lafayette or Janney if not Murch. Would take Latin if not Deal.

We're at SWS and love it. If were to disappear, I'd like my kids to go to Brent.

DC was at our #2 choice (CM) so we entered him in the lottery for one school only for PK4 (LAMB) and were successful.

We haven't entered DC in the lottery since, but if DC couldn't continue at LAMB, CM would remain our second choice.

I am at Janney. If I couldn't be there, I would go to Murch.

14:37: Why would you take Maury over SWS?

No, that would be "where would you rather be?" This is a much more interesting question. If is asking people for their preferences amongst schools when they are at their first choice. There people have all seen at least two years of this, some probably several more, and have no dog in the fight and don't need to worry about strategy.

more like - you think your grass is really green, so where is it even greener (or at least as green/just a shade less green).

Basically a horse race for winners of horse races. Agree, it's obnoxious (even though I responded to it).

I like this topic it allows for people to give love to "competition" school. Although I don't see it as a competiton, we can easily get into debates about why our school "choice" was best that we forget that the more # of good schools the better for all of us. Even if we're at a school that we love, the schools should know that there is competiton out there and they are held accountable to an extent. Also I don't think of it as a grass is greener, but more like "I love my handsome DH, but find other men attractive" deal

We are at IT, we would consider Creative Minds and Cap City. If my kid were younger or already had Spanish exposure then LAMB and MV too.

Eaton is fantastic. Given our current five minute walk to school, I don't have a second choice - but would gladly send my kids to Oyster if we lived in Woodley Park.

For example, we are at Creative Minds. I think if we couldn't go there, I would choose Inspired Teaching.

The parents aren't in the school. What weird phrasing.

Walking to school was our priority, so there's really no second choice for us.
