[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, that's not what the $265K/yr. poster said (please reread the post above). She thinks that her poor money management skills should still get her child into any school of her choice. Unfortunately for her, America (and capitalism) doesn't work that way. She will only be able to send her child to the school that she can afford (private or moving IB), or getting lucky in the lottery. Both you and the prior poster are not owed anything by people who live IB for JKLM or other desirable schools. No one pays my mortgage or taxes except me and my husband. Therefore, we can only live where we can afford to rent or buy. Why should you be treated any differently?!?[/quote]

I have no idea what you are talking about.  I have no idea what her poor management skills have to do with where she sends her child to school.  What I'm saying is if she is already in bounds for a great school why take the spot in a charter?  I don't give a rats ass how much she makes.[/quote]

Because JKLMORS, etc. parents have as much of a right to a charter spot as you do!  Too bad if you don't like that parents with great IB schools, who send their children to charters, have more/better options than you.  There will always be people who have more than you do...it's called LIFE.  I/they/we don't owe you anything!!![/quote]

Who said you owe me anything???   :roll:   I don't live my life on the premise that I'm OWED anything.  My kid goes to Murch is that makes any difference.  I'm lucky that I'm in a position to send my child there and don't take it for granted.  I've made many sacrifices to be able to do that.  there are families who work very hard ETOP who would LOVE to have an opportunity to send their child to a school like ours.  I just find it ridiculous that you'd see a need to take a charter spot.  To each her own, right.  Perhaps living in a million dollar home in Tenley entitles you to whatever you damn please.

That's the thing--I don't feel entitled at all.  I BOUGHT my house...no one gave it to me.  I'm also going to exercise my right to take an IB spot, or a spot at a charter--no matter what you think about it.  You enjoy your time at Murch, and don't worry about what I'm doing.  I would dare someone to tell me to my face that I had no right to take a charter spot.[/quote]

I'd be happy to do it.  Care to meet for coffee?  [/quote]

No coffee necessary.  Post your contact info. so we can set something up.[/quote]

You first :-)[/quote]
