[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess we will agree to disagree. Your premise is that the most disadvantaged families are using the OOB and charter lotteries successfully at the PS3 level. I'm not sure how to measure that. I would think that their choices are primarily driven by transportation, but I am certainly not an expert.

I guess I will have to become an expert, though, when I open up my awesome K-entry charter school!

No. My prise is that the majority of ALL filies who use public pre-s and pre-k are underserved families and that it would do undue harm tk make them re-lottery where the majority would stay put where they are, wherever that is.  And the other fact IM basing my conclusion on is that by definition, if you can choose whethef or not your kid attends public preschool, or not, you are almost definitely in a SES that does not represent the target population.  There are exceptions, but most are not underserved if it's about choosing not to go.  Dont miss the part of my premise that says its unjust and obnoxious to propose making a cgange that disadvantages the majority target population to advantage the few who don't have to send their kids.

NP here - pp, you make some very valid points, all of which are undercut by your inability to post without insulting the person to whom you are responding.  I for one would be a lot more willing to consider your point of view if just addressed the points without the unnecessary commentary, and I'm sure I'm not alone.  [/quote]

Please be more specific: which part of this post is "unnecessary commentary"?  The issues of entitlement and who this benefits have been raised already, so which part of my post does not go straight to the heart of why this is about entitlement and who it disadvantages?  I appreciate that you are being honest and saying you want to consider what I'm saying, but I don't understand what part of what I said you consider "unnecessary commentary"?[/quote]
