[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It probably doesn't hinder outreach. But LAMB is convinced that it's approach gives them the best shot at a diverse applicant pool. Maybe they don't want people to have to rank LAMB in preference order against the of their choices?

We can all form an opinion about their approach but it is their choice. And with 800 applicants it doesn't seem to be hurting them. [/quote]

Yes but with their past (yes, I know first hand when my Spanish speaking friend got in and had a number 200 worse than me), they should not be allowed this luxury. It should have been required by the charter board.[/quote]

I love it when non-Latinos complain about how Latinos get all the perks.  Give me a break.  LAMB does not give any preference of any kind to Spanish-speakers.  I know, I asked.  Actually, if I'm honest, I begged.  And they did not budge, did not take my name down, and were perfectly kind. But they made it clear this did not happen, regardless of what an "esteemed lottery consultant" claimed really happened behind the scenes.

For what it's worth, I am happy for LAMB that your Spanish-speaking friend got in.  You seem like an entitled jerk.  And Latinos in this city get nothing -  at least we should be able to send our kids to schools where they can continue learning our language and sharing that knowledge with other kids.  Unfortunately we don't even get that aside from a handful of seats at Oyster-Adams and a few other DCPS schools.   I guess I can hope for the best from one of them, even though it isn't likely.[/quote]
