[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]There's definitely at least one, maybe two serious anti-charter operative on this board, someone with an agenda and a shoulder bearing a chip, who comes on every couple of days with a cluster of astro-turfing posts, usually late at night or in other distinct patterns, with a group of posts coming in from some angle purporting to have inside knowledge or purporting to have some opinionated idea of what might happen at charter X, all followed by a slew of sock-puppeting posts all agreeing with the first, all composed and posted within minutes of each other. And if anyone points out facts to the contrary, they are yelled at for daring to tamp down agenda-driven opinions with actual facts, accused of boosterism and so on, even to the point of obscenities so foul they get deleted. Just be aware of that, pay it no mind.[/quote]

This sounds kind of paranoid. And wrong. I think there are many parents expressing their legitimate concerns about schools, including charter schools, and they are adding important points to the conversation. It's YOU who are trying to turn the conversation into some US vs THEM anti-charter inflammatory fight when, honestly, it isn't.

It's completely legitimate and important to question whether Hebrew immersion is a good idea. It's a very difficult language and used by a relatively small number of people. [/quote]

I made the same argument to my parents about Greek school - and now I am very happy they made me go! People need to stop with all of the negativity. The whole reason we have a charter school board is to check these schools out. My taxpayer dollars pay for a whole bunch of things I don't personally use or support. If you were to lazy to oppose Sela during the application process, you should leave them alone now and create your own charter school with a different approach - and then we can all tear you down over and over in the the true DCUM fashion! Honestly, this string was about a location, not about what you as an individual person feel is useful or not useful. I would never send my kid to KIPP and its route-learning culture. Different strokes for different folks. Congrats to Sela on finding a great building! Charter school families are proud of you. [/quote]
