[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also - note that many parents coming out on the other side of the tunnel on the lottery thing aren't saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it." They are either saying some variation of live with it, deal with it, or "I've got mine, it's your problem now." while pretending this has been a win for all kids. LOL. If they were telling the truth, they'd say "we are hanging on to a rope in an extremely dysfunctional system and I'm terrified of ANY movement that might jeopardize my tenuous foothold."

I think that's what all the irritation and ire from the charter school system boosters is coming from. They are terrified that we'll rock the boat.

Guess what? We're going to. [/quote]

So what do you propose to do?  I'm not terrified or hanging on a rope-- the system is working fine for my family.  That is the truth.  Now, what I don't feel good about is the many children in primarily Wards 7 and 8 that are stuck in bad schools.  I don't care about middle-class families that are able to keep their children home until K or afford private programs.  [/quote]

So give up your slot and go save 'em phony. Not likely. Anyone who doesn't care about all kids isn't much of an altruistic person. You're a reverse racist scum. Higher SES families are struggling too. Hose children are just as deserving as the Ward 7 and 8 kids. [/quot

I don't need to care about kids that have resources.  If you can pay for private or live off of one income-- you are not struggling.  Also, you are seriously angry-- laughable too.  "reverse racist scum"-- You clearly have reading comprehension issues-- I never said anything about saving anyone--my point was that the children really suffering have limited resources and likely live in areas of the city where poverty is concentrated.  If your family can't afford private or live off of one income, you are not included in my point.  Instead of writing like you are going to die of high blood pressure, calm down and make suggestions. You never seem to answer any questions, but attack.   [/quote]
