[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I go to another charter school and have to say,[b] this is why people dislike charter school parents[/b].

It is NOT a neighborhood school. Sorry that you may get more Bloomingdale families and have to "gasp" be neighborly with them for your play dates.

[b]If you want a neighborhood school, go to one. [/b][/quote]

OP here, I don't care if people dislike me as a new charter school parent.  I have spent the last three years with one DC in a private and had to trek all over DC and Maryland to play dates and birthday parties and quite frankly, I am sick of it.  I have absolutely no more interest in trekking to any location east of Georgia Avenue for play dates and parties. I have no energy to give to this and will not apologize for it.  I have friends in Bloomingdale and our kids go to the same school but we NEVER do playdates.  On the other hand, I regularly see my friends who are in Mt Pleasant because it is effortless.  With my work schedule and my kids school schedule, I will not apologize for wanting one aspect of my life to be easy.  Further, I have found that kids tend to develop closer relationships with kids they can hook up with in the blink of an eye for an impromptu outing to a park.  That can't happen if the kid lives on the Hill and I am on the other side of D.C.  If my in bound DCPS were a viable option, you can bet I would choose it, but at the end of the day it is not and very few people in my neighborhood even send their kids to our in-bound DCPS.

Why don't you just let your kids build a relationship with the children in your neighborhood?  My children have friends at school and play with them there and they have friends in the neighborhood and play with them in the neighborhood.  Win win for us.[/quote]
