[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, this reminds me why I'm glad I chose charter schools. Neighborhood schools, and Ward 3 families specifically are just horrible people. [/quote]
You didn't choose charter schools. Lottery luck chose you.  [/quote]

You will eventually get into one.[/quote]
I'm sure, but let's not pretend it's up to us.  There's no real control in that 'choice'. [/quote]

Sure there is, I only applied to charter schools for my child, so- I would only get into a charter school. Control. [/quote]

The point is, you do not control which schools you get into. It sounds like you got lucky with a school you like. Many people do not get into a charter they like. That is why people feel like they have lost "control" in that lottery type system. You can choose to ignore that others feel that way. That is your choice.

It is not as if "charters" in general are better than some other category of school, it very much depends on the specific charter school.[/quote]

Yes, but unlike the what the OP thinks, people across this city are not dying to get into Janney or Murch. Those schools are far away and over crowded nightmares. I wouldn't even consider sending my child there - do they even teach languages?  [/quote]

No, the children have no exposure to any languages or foreign cultures and there are no parents who speak other languages in the home. No opportunities for language enrichment after school either. And these schools are actually far away from everything, not just you. They are far away from all jobs and homes in all locations. They are almost on a desert island. Luckily the metro connects the desert island to the rest of civilization. [/quote]

I figured as much from the lack of fashion I see on Ward 3 women. [/quote]

ANd don't get me started on the Ward 3 men. [/quote]

Great come back. Generalizations go a long way for ya, huh.[/quote]
