[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, I don't think older kids had the same odds. Wait lists in many neighborhoods across the city are much longer now than they were 5 years ago. [/quote]

Please. Most of those kids took a flyer on an unknown quantity back in the day. They were willing to take the risk and helped to make the successful charters what they are now. You are welcome to do that with new charters as well.[/quote]

That has long been the dumbest argument about this topic. It's like complaining that housing prices were lower five years ago so some could afford to buy IB WOPT.[/quote]

No, it's like complaining that someone who bought a house in Columbia Heights 10 years ago was more fortunate. But that person took a risk on a "transitional" neighborhood that has panned out. Go and buy in Michigan Park if you want to try the same thing.[/quote]

Um, really? Michigan Park? Not quite CH back in the day! Wow what a risky gamble  :roll: [/quote]
