Not at all. The posts I read made it clear that it was a PS 9 parent. Something about "bastard A sibs" and "I'm going to work to get Anderson out of my school" [ Reply | More

I think there's someone posing as an Anderson parent and probably also as a PS 9 parent. [ Reply | More

agree. I think there are a couple of angry people, or maybe one who did not get a spot at either school trying to make trouble. Making it appear that anderson and ps9 are practically at war. really is not the case at all. [ Reply | More

Don't know, but they shouldn't. A screams they are a separate school, special, a city wide and then tries to talk out of the other side of their mouth and get non qualifying sibs into PS9 g&t. [ Reply | More

I don't think that Anderson is "screaming" that. They just are a citywide G&T school and separate from PS 9. I do agree that their sibs should not get PS 9 preference at all. [ Reply | More

doesn't mean she got in as a sib though, right? A sib could have scored a 99 and ps9 was the second choice. Lots of A sibs have gotten into ps9 when entry was just based on scores. [ Reply | More

Anderson sib would automatically be in A with a 99. Wouldn't need to go to 2nd choice. [ Reply | More

that's right. anyway, I think it was wrong to give A sibs preference at ps9 if it wasn't reciprocal for qualified ps9 sibs. [ Reply | More

This is also very unfair for high scoring catchment kids that are placed in gen ed since they did not have an older sib in G&T or A. [ Reply | More

This is also unfair for G&T sibs that had a 99, but did not even try for Anderson for fear of losing their sibling spot at 9. [ Reply | More

That wasn't due to sib preference. It was just luck and she got her local choice with a good draw in the pile - getting picked early. [ Reply | More

No, but they were supposed to because PS 9 kids were given same sib preference for being in the same building as Anderson sibs. They had said it would either go both ways or not at all. [ Reply | More
