[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know who is entitled here?  It's the people who sit in their big expensive upper NW houses with their great guaranteed inbound schools and weigh up whether to send their kids to LAMB, Mundo Verde, their amazing inbound school or straight to private.

And then they go right on ahead and take that place at LAMB (while boasting that they've just saved $100k in school fees) while the rest of us struggle and know that there are no realistic options other than trying to get our failing IB schools to work for us - if only so that it's improved for those who come after us.

That's the topic that OP raised, which the people in those expensive houses with their overinflated salaries and their multiple options for their overindulged little snowflakes have conveniently overlooked when they berate OP and suggest that SHE is "entitled" because she's unable or unwilling to move and didn't plan where she lived or what her earning potential was based on the prospect that she may (or may not) have children at some point in the future.

Bitter, yes?  And with every right.[/quote]

I kind of love this.[/quote]

I think its ridiculous. We're damn lucky to have charter schools. For most of the country, if your IB school is bad, there are no other options but to enroll or move. It is not the mission of charter schools to save students from their parents' short-sighted housing decisions. If someone in Ward 3 desires Mandarin immersion, montessori or expeditionary learning for their child, options not available in their neighborhood school, why should their address prevent them from entering the lottery?

NP - PP you SO don't get the point.  What school did you go to?  Might wanna yell at them for not teaching reading comprehension.[/quote]
