[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The barrier argument is just stupid. We see all the students in our DC's class. They come to our home for birthday parties and we go to theirs. Huge differences sometimes in the family's income, but the kids don't care yet. (FYI, we are on the poorer side of most of these parties. Cake for the kids and pizza for the grownups.)[/quote] There are kids of different income levels at my kids birthday parties? What a stupid and non-responsive argument. The issue isn't that charter schools every low income kid - it is just harder for low-income kids to overcome the barriers of attendance at many charters. So yes, some low-income kids will be in your kids school - but maybe only 50% as many, or, 30% as many, or 70% as many - either way, less than would get into the schools otherwise. And that is at least part of the special sauce. [/quote]
