I think it would be interesting to hear the stories if DC parents who didn't get into the 6 DCPSs or the charters they applied to. People could learn more about what doesn't work in lottery strategies. And it's certainly compelling.

But that doesn't mean there were no spots available in the District. We just finished preschool. We didn't have tremendous lottery luck but eventually turned down one charter (that is not popular with middle class parents), one mediocre DCPS, and ended up at another charter. If we hadn't gotten in somewhere acceptable to us, out child would have stayed in a private daycare.

The issue is number of seats at schools that are acceptable options, not lack of seats per se.
