[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It kills me when people complain about getting their kids into charter schools in DC.  A complete cakewalk compared to getting kids into public G&T schools or private schools in NYC.  We are super happy with our public charter - our first choice - if it was a private school we would have paid the tuition.[/quote]

What do people do if they can't afford private school tuition but don't get into a public charter?[/quote]

Depends on what you have to compare it to:  In NYC, all preK/preS are private except for head start so at least in DC you get a choice.  Everyone I know who applied to a charter in DC got into one or got a decent enough waitlist number that they expect to get into one by the end of Summer.  If you apply to a bunch and apply [b]early[/b], your chances are very good that you'll get in somewhere.  We applied to 4 and got into all 4:  Much better results than what we would have gotten had we stayed in NYC.

I suppose it's all relative to what you are use to.[/quote]
