[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll confess ignorance of Appletree's "mission." Is it something other than educating little kids? It isn't immersion/Montessori/Waldorf/Reggio/other . . . ?[/quote] Closing the achievement gap by providing high quality early education to disadvantaged children. http://www.appletreeinstitute.org/institute/appletree-institute-for-education-innovation/ Obviously they accept all who get in via the lottery but they are focused on other parts of the city than Ward 3. [/quote] Appletree clearly doesn't make sense as a Ward 3 charter. However, if Ward 3 children (along with other higher SES kids from EOTP) lottery into it, it benefits their target population. It's not a necessary evil that comes with the fact that DC children from both sides of the park are allowed to participate in the lottery, which some of you seem to deplore.[/quote]
