I just came across an article that kind of threw me for a loop. According to the Merc, parents in Santa Clara camped outside Don Callejon School in order to enroll their child for kindergarten for the fall of 2010.
Maybe it's my midwest upbringing or our school systems there, but I never realized how competitive schools (pre-school-high school) were until I moved out to this area. I've heard of parents researching for the best pre-schools for their toddlers. I've also heard of families moving to certain school districts so that their children are eligible to attend. I understand parents wanting the best for their children, but to camp out at an elementary school seems a bit much.
I'm not here to judge, I just found it interesting. I'm not a parent yet, so I wouldn't understand where they are coming from, I guess. Good luck to those parents - hopefully your child will be among the 120 kindergartners admitted. Parents will find out after Feb. 5th.
