Samantha T...if you wouldn't spend a night in a tent to get your kid into a school, i think you have larger issues than staying in the city.

Anya - if you find daycare for a few thousand bucks over the course of a year that doesn't involve your child sleeping in a drawer, please let me know. I've priced daycare and found nothing costing a few thousand a year. That said, I'd also not camp out to get my child into school. This is why I, clearly, can't stay in the city.

Okay folks, re-read smitty's comment: would you camp out overnight in exchange for a few thousand bucks of savings over the following year?

Hey, that's my old school!!! I went to PS 236 in Mill Basin up to 2nd grade. And look at me now, spending time at work writing dumb crap on Gothamist.

You will be a good mom, jen. your natural instincts will kick in and you'll do anything for your children. all you need is to get the first one in, then his/her siblings won't have to worry bout getting in. and, I expect you to go to thier musical plays cause they are the most fun you'll ever have.

If those parents really loved their kids, they'd pony up a few million $$ for the 92nd St. Y coffers.

Yeah, but if they get their kids into Pre-K, they don't have to pay for daycare - that's the main reason for the line.

wow, these people have obviously never read Freakonomics. it simply doesn't matter statistically where your child goes to school.

Hmmm... so what's the lesson in camping out for concert tickets or console systems? Kill yourself?

So what's the lesson in all this? Don't have children...
