[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) all caps not needed

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]

That is absolutely ridiculous. Why should a Ward 3 parent not have the same opportunity to send their child to a charter school that any other parent has?[/quote]

Because she has the option to send her kid to a great ward 3 school.  When kids from ward 5 or ward 6 or ward 8 have the RIGHT to a great school in addition to the option of lotterying in to a charter it will be fair.  Right now that possibility is only available to the rich.[/quote]

But she pays the same taxes for the same services.  Her tax money goes into the pool that supports all the schools.  If she pays in, why is she not entitled to use the services she pays for?[/quote]

I pay taxes for the same services.  My tax money goes into a pool that supports all the schools.  Why do I not have a RIGHT to send my kid to a great school?  Why is my only option the failing neighborhood school?  I pay just the same taxes that someone in ward 3 pays.[/quote]

You have a RIGHT to a free public education.  You have the RIGHT to get involved in the school to make it great.[/quote]
