I could cry. DC's number was called at MSC lottery Thurs night but now it seems they calculated incorrectly and have fewer spots than originally thought... Sigh. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

There's no need to be snotty about it. I just cannot believe that they operate in this way. Or, did they announce at the lottery that all placements were subject to change? Was that known going into it? [ Reply | More

I'm not being snotty. You were the one cursing. You said how can they do this? I asked how you would fix it? [ Reply | More

go jump in a lake, will you? If you're offended by a very appropriate "WTF," then you need to find some other board to post on. [ Reply | More

OP: Oh come on. It's really cruel to do this to parents. If course they can't do anything but it really sucks to think you had an option other than your crummy Gen Ed while you wait for G&T placements only to find that you don't! [ Reply | More

I can't reply to poster who says she's definitely in... apparently they miscalculated how many spots they had and pulled too many numbers. We were one of the too many b/c our number is no longer on the list. (Assuming the e-mail I got from Robin Aranow today was correct). [ Reply | More

I can't reply to your other posts - a friend was there and told me our number was called. Another parent posted the called numbers on insideschools and it was there. Now, today, it's gone. [ Reply | More

Exactly, most kids are waiting for G&T placement and some will definitely decline. The WL will move. [ Reply | More
