[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCI parents have self-selected and managed to weed most of the low performing and/or problematic students from their lower feeder schools.

They will replicate this model for later grades, with even more barriers to entry.

That is the charter way (at least, it's the the HRCS one).[/quote]

Yes to self-selecting but bs to weeding out.

We are leaving a feeder and were literally told by the principal that we live in a city of choices and I was free to make a choice when I wanted them to address my challenging child's needs (read IEP).  It is not BS.  Yu Ying's scores for disadvantaged (economically or socially) populations are piss poor.  The only school that is a feeder that is serving disadvantaged populations well is LAMB, which is impossible to get into, so who cares.  And Yu Ying has a reputation for being racist/classist (don't know anyone there) and being the worst among them for weeding people out.

The post you were responding to was spot on.  School choice my ass.[/quote]

So sorry you are having this experience. I hope you find a school that will care for your child. Truly sorry. [/quote]
