@CV6780 Yes, you understood me correctly. One can never know for sure if that is the reason when one’s kid doesn’t get accepted, but if I thought that mine was displaced by someone because of hardship consideration, I would moan and complain with great indignation just like everyone else, lol, but underneath I would be accepting. Obviously you should be proud of doing your best to get wonderful opportunities for your children. If only there were some way to have equally good schools with equally good teachers in all the neighborhoods.
