[quote=Anonymous]I have a stake in Latin.  My kid's in HS--I'm not sure what number of what sub-group one needs to obtain some theoretical 'badge of distinction'? Regardless of TANF, the schools involves sacrifices from all comers in terms of facilities and resources--it's not like if you are from a wealthier family your kid is sent to the gucci corner of the class.  The school walks a tight line on budget and resources, like most charter schools apart from a few that have deep, national pockets.  What we do have are  eager, cheerful kids (not all geniuses-including my own), bright and really interesting teachers, what I would call true diversity--every one of my kid's friends has a different story, socio-ethnic combination, etc.   I don't think Latin EVER presented itself as a 100%, 50% or even 30% below the poverty line school.  What it does have is many, many, many working class families, some poor families, and some rich families.  All seeking each other, great teachers and admin, and a classics education. [/quote]
