[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. [b]They are terrified that we'll rock the boat. Guess what? We're going to.[/b] [/quote] Don't be silly, no-one could be less afraid of you. If you want to support early education in general, and your child in particular, your fantasy of being a crusader is working in opposition to your aim. Your rallying cry against the evil charters, who are trying to bring free pre-school, language education, and school-choice to the District, is not actually the motivator which you imagine it to be. "Be the change" you want to see, right? So, instead of bitching and moaning because you don't like someone else's model, go write a charter and be the change. [/quote]
