[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point about audience is important, OP. If your goal in establishing this school is to serve children who could really use it--low SES kids without access to healthy eating resources or role models, etc--then great. It could work and actually change lives. But if your goal is to attract families like yours (assumption that you're educated, etc) I don't think your idea will fly. So ask yourself where your heart is at on this first. [/quote]

Right - as an 'educated' parent I can't stand the school telling me what shouldn't go into lunches and how much kids should exercise, although I understand that it is for the benefit of all.  I have made informed decisions for my kids and don't give them junk food or let them sit around playing video games all day.  I think 'educated' parents look at charter schools because there are options as to what might be the best fit for their children - however most of the time it feels like we just take what we get with the lottery regardless of what the best fit might be because that's just how the system works...[/quote]
