New poster here.
Nope, OP is not mean, just honest. 
Please, everyone, get real. 
Charters are there for people who feel they need to avoid their neighborhood dcps schools. State the truth. Really, if you lived next door to a JKLM you wouldn't give a rat ass about a "Green World"or for your child to be in a montessori setting with kids of multiple ages in the same class. Be honest with yourself at least .  [/quote]

We lived inbounds for a JKLM and still go to a charter.  I really think you don't know what you are talking about.[/quote]

[b]there are very, very few of you though.[/b]   This is a fact that has remained constant for the past decade.

The only statistically significant exception to this is that not-seriously-wealthy parents of multiple children who are inbound for Key or Mann do, indeed, send kids to BASIS and Latin instead of Hardy.

But very, very, very few parents skip Murch, Mann, and Janney for Flavor of the Month elementary grade charters and schlep cross-town to do so.[/quote]

two in this tiny thread and another at my school.  I imagine we are 10% of charters that offer something a good neighborhood school can't (Montessori, immersion, experiential with a  soecial ed focus).  More would be there except for the commute. If a Montessori charter opened in ward 3, it would be full of JKLM parents.  Not everyone wants a "good" traditional school.[/quote]

There are several at my kids' school.  They drive 40 minutes + each way to get to the school and yet they could go to their JKLM a few blocks from their houses but choose not to.[/quote]
