[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You pretend martys are so obnoxious! Of course, we're starting a school for our kids dumbass! My child didn't get into a school, so I'm going to go with a group starting one. All of the interested people are parents to kids who are looking for a school for ourselves. I'm happy if it can serve others, but why would I be starting a school if I didn't have a vested interest. There are some pervs out there who get involved in things related to children because they're pervs and have no other reason. I'm not in education, but I have kids who need a school. Why on earth should I not be involved in getting one started to go private. Also, why are you on here trolling around. Do you have any children or are you just some perv getting off on attacking parents who want to start a school? Also, take your advice on engaging people and shove it right back where you got it- your ass! I can assure you, you're no expert on engaging people and organizing a school. [b]Just listen to your dumb judgmental ass.[/b] The uber focus on race/SES etc... is just terrible for everyone. I simply want a good school for my kid. I could care a less about the race/SES status of the other kids. [b]You freaks that make it a huge issue are the problem. Get a life!!! and please do not involve yourself with HV[/b].[/quote]

You are either a troll to the nth degree, or if you really have joined us in seriously discussing HV, you are probably in for a rude awakening.  Your kids needing a school TODAY is not even close to a reason to get involved with founding a school.  Yes, most of us who have seriously started this discussion hope that at some point if it becomes reality, this school will serve our kids.  But some of us also realize it is such a giant undertaking, you really need to be in it for way more than just your kids.

If you're serious in your interest, we still welcome you.  The amount of work this will take will quickly weed out people who are in it to see it through from people who think this is a quick fix, so if you are in it for the long haul, cool.

But really... this sounds exactly like what someone trying to make the serious people here sound crazy would write.  I'm still calling TROLL on this one![/quote]

Um, the troll is you! You need to read the messages of people whom've expressed interest. We're not trying to start a school that doesn't benefit our kids. Look back at the thread and read what people wrote. There was discussion of starting a middle school program because we know how long it could take and want our kids to benefit. Then, someone  stated that the school could start based upon when our kids would be in school (i.e. first or second grade). I'm not sure who you are, but you seem to be presenting yourself as a mouth piece for the group. You're not! Others out there please identify if you're interested in forming the school for other children in the future. That's a very generous and meritorious prospect, but not something I intend to sign up for. Anyways, I'm going to continue looking into forming the school. Right now there is no leadership, although you seem to think you are. If it emerges that this about forming a school for the sake of forming a school, I'll put my energies elsewhere. Good news is the demand is so overwhelming, the kids will be there.[/quote]

The bolded part of your quote speaks for itself.  Other than that, you would really do well to read up on the history of charter schools in DC and look at the application that has already been made available to those on the yahoo group (so I assume you too).  You may not care about who else the school serves, but the PCSB does care, and therefore we need to too.  Beyond just our own children.  That's not an "opinion", that is a fact of applying for a charter.  Who you're targeting to serve and how you'll serve them matters, even in a lottery system.[/quote]
