[quote=Anonymous]Another person for whom it doesn't bother me at all.  This is DC.  There are neighborhood playgrounds near most people, and you meet families and like-aged kids there for younger kids.  Then there are activities and friends from schools for older kids.

More importantly though, I believe in why charters were founded: to give an alternative to substandard neighborhood schools to those who can't live IB for Deal and Wilson.  So if I have to make more of an effort to schedule/get to playdates, I am totally ok with that.

Person asking this original question, why don't you put your effort into actually improving the very neighborhood DCPS schools you reference in your original question, instead of trying to make a case for something that will not do a thing to make anything better in this city except maybe for a very small number of families.

Or, another way of saying that is, do your kids go to your neighborhood school?  Whatever you're trying to do here with this question, why don't you focus instead on why you aren't going to your neighborhood school and what it would take to improve it so you would go?[/quote]
