[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ I'm so tired of hearing the Brent story. Brent got better because they do not have housing projects in their IB and because with the recession people could not afford private for a few years. It was not forward thinking parents/field of dreams shit. [/quote]

If you bought a house whose school zone includes the housing projects, why are you bitching?  If you didn't know that before you bought, then you should have.  Those kids have just as much a right to attend LT as your child does.  If you want to avoid low SES (or for some-- black kids), then you should move to the burbs or Ward 3.  Otherwise, go private or [b]charter[/b]. If those options aren't available to you then, STFU, enroll your kids in what is already apparently a good school, and somehow try to bridge the culture gap.   It won't be easy, but when you signed those mortgage papers, you  made the bed you're now lying in. (And spare me the uber-entitled, I pay more taxes line).  Disparaging the school, the students and the previous administration does nothing.  [/quote]

How on earth would you avoid that in charters where the % of both AA and FARM are both higher?

You're absolutely right.  You can't avoid that in charters.  As a matter of fact, not only do some HRCSs have a higher percentage of both AA and FARM students than LT, they also didn't score as well on the CAS. Still, some parents see them as an escape hatch from their local school.  The difference is, those parents go in with their sleeves rolled up and ready to work to make their charter school great for the benefit of ALL the children and families who come from every corner of the city.  But some of the more entitled posters on this string don't want to do the work.  They believe their tax dollars should magically fix everything for them.[/quote]
