[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And by making before and after care so expensive, and expensive extracurriculars, combined with a crazy school calendar, they are purposefully weeding out lower income families so that they can continue to maintain these false appearances. So in fact, what they are doing is successful, according to some pp's in this thread who have admitted that they haven't applied because of this very culture. And the school knows these lower income families, and know that these families don't contribute anything to their agenda, so they are treated differently.

And, to that end, I believe several of these sought after charters are completely aware of these facts - they are way ahead of the OP.[/quote]

Whatever it is, it seems to be working since it's nearly impossible to get into these schools under than at entering grades since there is very little attrition.  If there is so much "weeding out" of lower SES families, you would think there would be more spaces available in the higher grades.[/quote]

Yeah, maybe OP can pack it up out to PG already then, and open up a spot or two... Seeing as how her children are suffering so unnecessarily.[/quote]
