[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is the problem with charters and citywide schools -- parents are desperate to flee their horrible neighborhood schools (if not truly, at least in their minds) and will go anywhere else, regardless of the program. "Reggio without community?" No problem! "Hebrew immersion?" No problem! [/quote]

that's an awfully narrow view of community.  You speak of these options like they're taken solely out of desperation.  Plenty of families actively seek out specific language immersion, or specialized curricula that meets their philosophic preferences.  I wouldn't assume to know the motives of every family or the basis for their school decisions.[/quote]

That may be true, but with the lottery system, you don't really get to choose. So I know many families that have applied to as many schools as possible and to see what comes up, even though they would rather just go to a specific school.

And I think it is important for Reggio to be able to engage with the surrounding neighborhood/community, which I'm sure SWS will continue, but I'm thinking more about the children and how they view their personal geography.[/quote]
