[quote=Anonymous]I was also a part of the discussion from the beginning and you're not accurate regarding what happened. From the get go there were two agendas, which were mutually exclusive. The group started by parents who were shut out of the lottery- not by a charter champion of at-risk kids. The latter became pronounced when a random member introduced the desire to focus on FARM children. It was abrupt IMO and seemed more like the hipster type described above- a person who enjoys social movement and suddenly found an outlet for it. It did not appear as if the person had any genuine understanding of the plight of minority kids or what was necessary to serve them. I might be wrong, but it seemed illigit to go from a gentrifier mom who wants immersion along with other shut out parents to harbinger of the poor and wanting to shake up the school system. Once that shift occurred, which was alarming, the group was derailed. Had there been a focus from the beginning calling on families to support an immersion program for the city's most neediest kids, I would have been 100% for it. But doing it for the sake of fitting in with hipster protest type- no thank you![/quote]
