[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to say as a YY parent with no skin in the game, what are they accused of making up? That they have interested parents? How the heck would you know? That they have had a lot of applications? Again, what is your source that they don't? They are participating in the common lottery as I understand it - don't you need to be near enrollment to participate in the lottery? That someone likely not affiliated with Sela said they saw a mob of people at their table....what did you bug the place? Install cameras? That they want to be a part of DCI in a gazillion years when they are eligible? That people in DCI are open to their and other language charters participation? A) How the heck would you know, B) where is the would-be hoodwink? Very kooky! I can understand a given person not wanting their kid to study Hebrew, just like I wouldn't want my mine in a Spanish immersion when she gets that at home, but seriously, it's really not your call or my call what another family wants for their kid...we simply have no idea. That's why there is a charter board and a public opposition period...[/quote]

Try saying that at 2 Charter School expos (Cap Hill and last weekend) their table was "mobbed" (debunked by many others at both expos)... stating repeatedly that they were already a part of DCI... that kind of thing.

This is DCUM.  While your defense of the Sela over-boosters is admirable (sure you're a YY parent with no skin in the game! ;) ), most of what you're saying is never what they've been rebuffed here for.  And sorry, mulitple eyewitnesses trump your "Ooooh, did you have the place bugged?  Cameras?" attempt to legitimize the hype.

Sela's success (or lack thereof) will speak for itself.  Most posters are positive or neutral re: Sela, and most wish Sela the best (I certainly do).  But anyone who lies on DCUM about stuff that can be verified risks having those lies/exaggerations exposed.  It's that simple.  Cheering = good.  Repeated Exaggerating = DCUM grumbling.[/quote]
