[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A free charter is not the same as a small break on $50k tuition.

You can try out the free thing easier than the still 30-40k thing.[/quote]

Parents who try charter schools are not typically wealthy.  For those with very high net worths, perhaps 50K isn't a big deal.[/quote]

The difference is that those people have many great alternatives. Why would I try Whittle if I could get GDS or Sidwell or a New England boarding school or whatever? Charter schools are drawing kids where the parents don't like the current options. [/quote]

The question was about whether people would be willing to take a risk on an unproven school, not whether they were willing to pay for one. My point was that yes--there obviously are. Then, I'm sure we all know people (or at least have seen people on this board) who don't like their options (waitlisted etc) and for whom tuition isn't a major concern, and if it is an issue, from what I've heard, Whittle has offered scholarships between 5 and 20k/year, so it's potentially cheaper than independent privates.[/quote]
