[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]??? the comments on this are why we can’t have nice things. I assume the lottery system will be used which means that admission will be SES-blind. Do charters skew wealthier? Probably. But I can tell you that our Montessori elementary is much more diverse than the Montessori school we previously attended in the burbs. Nothing is going to be perfect. You can’t force lower SES families to choose Montessori. Last I checked middle and UMC kids deserve a good education too but the more strong middle school options we have outside of Deal, the better it is for everyone.

The funny thing is that I bet the people complaining about (perceived) lack of diversity are the same people complaining about the lack of middle school options in the city.[/quote]

The OP is claiming that one of the goals is to reach students who haven't had Montessori exposure.  So what's the plan?  Recruit at your high-income feeder schools and then say oh, too bad so sad, guess we'll have to have mostly high-income kids?  Or is there a real plan to achieve the OP's own stated goal?[/quote]

Or talk to him.  It sounds like he is willing to be contacted if he puts his email address into the DCUM vipers den[/quote]
