[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is that there is no means to endure priority access to at risk children, if wotp parents choose to send their children to a HRCS it is likely they are taking the seat from another high SES family that may live by choice in a neighborhood with poorly performing schools.  There is no moral imperative to make space for families that choose to take the risks of the lottery system and have the means to make another choice should that not work out for them, even if that means a smaller house or more difficult commute.

i think the majority of families want to help children with poor educational options.  There is no reason to believe, however, that those are the children that would be helped by the decision to abstain from lottery participation.

Those eotp gentrifiers just do not generate a whole lot of sympathy.[/quote]

Charters are only for the poor? So by extension, any non-poor family should not access charters either. So all you DCUM charter families had also reject your places.  Or now are the charters only for the poor and Petworth?[/quote]

Not at all, but the line of thinking that families without good IB options have a higher moral right to charter slots falls apart when you consider it was their choice to live in neighborhoods with poor options and take their chances in the lottery.  I am responding to those who say familys with good IB options should not use charter schools that may provide an educational option such a family wants.  My response is what gives the families with a poor IB school such a right when their neighborhood was their choice. [/quote]

Sorry, I guess I am agreeing with you then! This whole line of reasoning is insane. [/quote]
