[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is such a matter of intense interest and debate that people who can afford to live in-bounds for JKLM also enjoy better options for school, whether it's opting for in bounds, charter, or private?  Having more money often means more options, and in more ways than just the schools you get to go to.  In school a law professor of mine had to remind our class of this once when we thought we had discovered some new injustice in the fact that a criminal defendant, while entitled to a lawyer by the constitution, still doesn't get access to the same lawyer that a rich defendant can get.  People with more money or who live in nice areas almost always have options that are not available to others.  It just seems odd to complain about something as self-evident as that.  And I say this as someone who leaves EOTP.  If I lived WOTP, I'd have no qualms about going with a charter that met my child's needs better, whether it's Bridges for special needs children, or LAMB for bilingual immerson.[/quote]

+1 . For Pete's sake, people. Charters are designed to serve the whole city. This kind of nonsense is going to give fuel to the people agitating for neighborhood proximity for charters, and then you'll find yourselves with even fewer options.  (NP here, also well EOTP.)[/quote]
