[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]who gives damn? People want montessori, they lotteried in and got it.   the demographics for the under five set are changing dramatically in DC.  Especially in a neighborhhood like petworth.   Most people choose schools based on proximity and academic offerings. It would be logical that breakthrough would skew white.  White parents want an education for their kids too people. [/quote]

you act like charter schools just spring up fully formed with no planning or ability to influence who enrolls ...[/quote]

how signficant an influence can they have?  in DC mostly educated parents are into Montessori.   Sure breakthrough can host school meet and greets in Wards 7 and 8 but are they providing the transportation for a 4 year old to get across town?   Honestly, most AA in DC are probably wary of montessori and most things "child led"-- I like montessori but yes I have certainly encountered black folks who thinks its really strange.  [/quote]

I'm impressed that you know most of the black families in DC, and I love it that you think we all think and feel the same things. [/quote]
