[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All charter schools.  Interesting list.[/quote]

It’s amazing what happens when you can exclude students you don’t want[/quote]

Yep. When you require admissions testing, certain prerequisite classes, and a complex application process that must be managed, and you can exclude behavioral and academic disabilities, and all the kids who just don’t want to be there at all?

Shocking. /s[/quote]

Not to mention that I’m familiar with charters that don’t provide transportation, lunches, etc. What a mystery of who will select to go there![/quote]

Applications that require parents to have a high degree of literacy, the inability to meet all but the most basic IEPs…[/quote]

That doesn't seem to be true for NYCs elite public's with it's high share of immigrants/children of immigrants coupled with 50% free and reduced lunch.[/quote]

It sure is true for magnets and charters literally everywhere else. [/quote]

This was a very specific NYC policy--and it's one of the few places that can do this and still have high achievement just because there are so many people and a good public transit system that you can be very selective and choose the most talented, motivated poor kids.  And, even so NYC has some stellar examples, but has pretty poor equity/achievement statistics outside these exemplar schools.[/quote]
