Old School, New School, Bad School?

It's a dilmma for every San Francisco parent (and the source of a huge percentage of our Marin County referrals). What are parents of school-age kids to do? Contrary to popular opinion, most parents we know would love to send their children to public school in San Francisco. The problem? 0 for 7. For the uninitiated, o for 7 has become scary shorthand for being assigned to a kindergarten that was not among any of parents' top seven choices. Say "0 for 7" to almost any parent in the City and prepare to hear a rant.

Today's Chron features an article that hightlights the issue. Recent reforms may address some of the problems. But we're guessing the rants will continue.
