2) that person is not going to stay where they are, but clearly having choices was meaningful to them

3) move somewhere else if you want an IB school choice[/quote]

You're completely missing the point.  We shouldn't have to move to get a decent education for our kids.  Education is a right not a privilege.  It is incredibly unfair that ward 3 parents are able to take charter school places away from families that have no other viable option.[/quote]

We are IB for JKLM.  Several years ago, we made a leap of faith and moved our child to a brand new charter school.  It was very rough going, but our family, as well as others, hung in there.  There was no wait list and everyone that applied was accepted.  I volunteered A LOT (as in using my vacation days and nights) at the school and I still do.  Within our budget, we also donated money and brought in the bare essentials.  Our first child basically missed the 5th and 6th grades because things were so unorganized.  The school was constantly criticized on DCUM.  Now, the school (Washington Latin)is highly sought after.  So...if I understand what is being said here, because I live in ward 3, it's unfair that my child is at Latin?  [/quote]
