[quote=Anonymous]OP this was me exactly 15 years ago (charters were just getting started and then it went haywire once the charters really got going). I can now say with the benefit of years of watching this all play out, that as one PP noted, no school will ever be good enough for this type of parent-but wow, there's ALOT of them out there! My kids have stayed in the same school and feeders and we've seen kids leave and come back 4,5,6 (!) times. Every new charter is "OMG we have to get kid X in!" Then, "OMG we got in!" To, somewhat sheepishly, "we're looking for another school." I too wanted that time back that I wasted on these knuckleheads. But big picture, MY kids are doing great getting into great colleges have some amazing friends who have also stuck it out and those other kids never get a chance to settle in and their parents have ruined friendships that they could have had through adulthood. My guess is these are the kids who will move back in with their parents in adulthood!  It also made me NOT talk with anyone anymore about my school. And no matter how much my kids school gets denigrated on boards like these, I just ignore, because it's not worth trying to defend it all the time. It's exhausting. Good luck. I feel your pain.
