[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And by making before and after care so expensive, and expensive extracurriculars, combined with a crazy school calendar, they are purposefully weeding out lower income families so that they can continue to maintain these false appearances. So in fact, what they are doing is successful, according to some pp's in this thread who have admitted that they haven't applied because of this very culture. And the school knows these lower income families, and know that these families don't contribute anything to their agenda, so they are treated differently.

And, to that end, I believe several of these sought after charters are completely aware of these facts - they are way ahead of the OP.[/quote]

This is such a crock.  I know exactly who OP is and what she fails to mention here is that even if she truly can't afford to pay for aftercare or extracurricular activities, she could ask the people at her "highly regarded charter," the very ones she is claiming are discriminating against her, and they would bend over backward to try and find a solution for her and her DC.  But she doesn't ask, and I think it's partly because [b]it's hard to ask for help from the driver's seat of $60K SUV!

She's got a chip on her shoulder because she doesn't feel "acknowledged" enough.  And I'm willing to admit that hey, maybe she isn't.  There are probably numerous reasons for that: maybe there's a cultural disconnect, maybe she's misunderstood, maybe she feels like an outsider, maybe she has complained about ridiculous things and been put on the defensive because of it, maybe she thinks she could do it all better.  Regardless of what she is experiencing or how she feels about it, her kid is not being discriminated against. What she fails to realize is that by taking her own experience and spinning into some sort of yarn of discrimination - discrimination that is hurting her kids and equating to them not getting an equal education, she's actually hurting her kid(s)!

Please, take a deep look OP.[/quote]

Okay, I can't be the only one who's wildly curious as to whether the OP in fact drives a $60k SUV. [/quote]

No, as I don't think what vehicle  OP drives  bare any relevance to the overall theme of her original post, ie, the inequities of how the school handles varying SES kids in the school. [/quote]

The vehicle that she drives is very relevant.  If she is as economically disadvantaged as she claims and is discriminated against because of that then why is she driving an expensive vehicle?  If that's the case then it suggests that she's not been honest about anything she's said.  I also note that since that allegation was made she has not come back at all and has not disputed it - for me that's a huge sign that she is not credible.[/quote]

And I bet you people also think she should not have Internet, cable, computer, cell phone, or iPad. She must wear ashes on her face and rags on her body to be credible. How dare she have any thing of value. The nerve of her to have any complaints against our esteemed HRCS. [/quote]
