[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP you make it sound like Latin started in a Ward 3 palace. It started in a church basement (which I helped paint). The neighborhoods it has subsequently moved to are not by any stretch of the imagination swanky or high income.[b] It was a strain on me to attend school events in the new locations from my home in Ward 3,[/b] but I did it. Our child had a long commute when riding public (often, with after school sports and activities). Latin has bent over backwards to recruit students from all wards and incomes. What it does is enough. It does not need to weight low income applicants.[/quote]

I think you made PP point. If it was a strain for a Ward 3 parent with resources, it would be close to impossible for a Ward 8 parent with little to know resources. I bet you have a car and four to six times the financial resources as that Ward 8 parent. In addition, your Ward 3 home is in the same quandrant, nw, as Latin opposed to that far spot heart Ward 8 home. [/quote]
