[quote=Anonymous]I think this is a bad idea for two reasons: 1) the temporary charter locations as PP noted; 2) the fact that charters by their nature do and are supposed to be offering something "different" in terms of educational philosophy/language. Just because you live close to Yu Ying does not mean you want Chinese immersion (or insert any school - montessori and Spanish at LAMB, Hebrew at Sela, green focus and Spanishat MV, expeditionary learning at Cap City, arts integration at Creative Minds, and on and on). Essentially it sets up a system where a preference is wasted because the family does not want that charter school or worse, a family with no interest in what the school is offering takes a space just because of the preference. The point of charter schools is choice and part of that choice is finding a school and program that fits your family and child. Location preference kills that choice.[/quote]
