[quote=Anonymous]NP. I can see what the OP is saying. We feel a little bit of this at our charter. We actually have a decent HHI (~140) but are fairly young and are minorities, so I think we are perceived to be lower income compared to the older, whiter parents. We do participate as much as we can, but work in IT and therefore, have some non-traditional hours that make doing so difficult. At any rate, yes, the admin treats us differently in terms of being responsive and listening to our concerns. The offset is that our DC has had excellent teachers and they have not hesitated to push for the correct resources and truly advocate for our DC. DC is ahead in terms of grade and they ensure that they stimulate and challenge, meet with us regularly and send home specialized lessons as we have requested. This may not be everyone's experience, and I get that, but I hope that OP's generalization does not scare you off if you think a high-performing charter is the best choice for your child. See for yourself. [/quote]
