　　For a long time, a walk to the nearest elementary school was all it took for Washington D.C. parents to enroll their children for classes. Now, for a growing number of families, 62    a seat in a classroom takes months of 　63 and energy in a process that continues 　64 after school starts each fall.Thousands of seats change 65    in the first weeks of class as students leave one school 66    another, a quiet migration triggered by the 67    competition for a good public education in the nation’s capital.For the first time this year, applications for most D.C.charter schools will be 68 on the same day—part of an effort to 69 the process for parents. Still, thousands of seats switch hands as students leave one D.C. school and go for another. This is the wait-list shuffle.Parents say it is a 70 of the city’s school-choice movement  a nationally watched experiment that has given Washington families more 71 than ever but also has injected a new level of agony and 72 into the start of the academic year. The change has been 73 by the rapid expansion of public charter schools, which operate outside the 74 school system and under different enrollment 　rules.　75 parents try to get their children into the best schools, they can apply to an 76 number of them.Once admitted, students can 77     seats in more than one school.Those parents seeking to preserve their options often　78 the extras only when forced to on the first day of class. Principals then scramble (倉(cāng)促行動(dòng)) to fill their rolls from long wait lists, recruiting students who are enrolled  79     . The cascading effect lasts into October.The uncertainty is not just 80    on parents, who must rearrange daily schedules, commuting patterns and after-school care. It is also difficult for children, who 81　　farewell to friends and adjust to new routines as they change schools, and for teachers, who must orient new students to classroom expectations.
