[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely not happy, but I do think that setting aside 25% of spots for at-risk kids is the right thing to do.  Universal PK wasn't meant for the affluent who can afford to pay for it.

That being said, I'm selfish and I'd love to see charters schools set aside 25% for at-risk, [b]25% for paid applicants[/b], and 50% straight lottery.  I'd absolutely pay for the school I got shut out of because it meets a very specific need for us.     [/quote]

Uhh NO if you can pay, pay for private school!
WTF[/quote]

Create more private schools with reasonable tuition rates and enough seats to accommodate the demand and I will.  And I promise you that a charter would love to take a few tuition-paying folks to subsidize others.    [/quote]

And then those paying kids could do no wrong, because the school wouldn't risk losing a cash cow.  The admin would bend over backwards for these paying parents, who would have a greater say in how things are run--after all, they are paying for it.

See what a slippery slope that is?  You don't pay to go to public school.  Period.[/quote]
