[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, somebody gets in, because there are tons of people with kids in charter schools, including me.  I understand your frustration, and yes, the odds are low but just like the Powerball somebody's number is going to come up.  It just sucks when it isn't yours.  The fact that lots of people don't get in doesn't mean that charters are a waste of time.  We all play the hand we're dealt.  If I hadn't gotten a slot, we simply would have left our child in daycare until K and then enrolled him at a Catholic school.[/quote]

I don't think anyone said that charters themselves are a waste of time. I posted at 10:10. I think that applying to most of the popular charters is a waste of time. Applying to Mundo Verde for PS this year, for example, was a waste of time for anyone who did not already have a child enrolled there. I don't know how many other schools that's true for, but I'd be willing to bet that MV isn't the only charter with no spaces actually available for the general non-preferenced public.[/quote]

It really hurt that MV is only having 1 PS class.  Hopefully, with the new building 2014-15 will have better chances for entry.[/quote]
