Only 12 Out of 475 Applicants Got Into PS 321's Pre-K Program This Year
And it wasn’t much better at PS 154 in Windsor Terrace where only 18 out of 215 made the cut. That’s why The Daily News is declaring a Pre-K crisis in Brownstone Brooklyn.

I don’t think its totally silly, given they spread of development in children. If you have a kid born late in the year they can effectively be competing in class with kids having actual mental/physical developement of a year or a year and a half ahead. Given that the apparent aim of schooling nowadays is to do better than your peers on tests, why stack the cards against your own?
Ringo’s point is well-taken. We’re just talking about pre-K here. I don’t believe kids in the PS 321 zone are being turned away at Kindergarten and above…yet.
Also, I’m not saying that’s what you did, wine love. I don’t know your situation.
Right, dittoburg.
I’ll also add that not everyone pays their fair share of taxes either. Even my parents will admit they don’t. As a % of income, their tax burden is far lower than man despite them earning exponentially more than I do now or ever will.
wine lover, that’s interesting. My mother taught me to read and all those things you listed before I set foot in pre-k. All this took place despite her having to work full time and basically raise two children alone since my father travelled for work a lot. It really seems like a lot of parents these days can’t be bothered to teach their kids anything and instead pawn them off on someone else to do their job.
Biff, i’ve read a lot about those parents who send their kids late to Kinderg or hold them back a year… a lot of their reasoning is absurd.

“EVERYONE pays taxes”
Where on earth did you get that idea?
But doesn’t everyone still gets a K spot who lives in 321 district?
not at all like some tribeca zones where you buy thinking you have a guaranteed spot at your “zoned” school and don’t.
a lot of schools have phased out pre-k bcs they need the classroom space. I imagine 321 will too.
