[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look up "Haricorts Verts" on DCUM to see how that turned out.[/quote]

Otoh, look up Cap City and see how that turned out.  Or Two Rivers.  Or Yu Ying.  Or Mundo Verde.  [/quote]

Oh, did they start out by someone suggesting on DCUM that it would be great to all get together to start a school?

I didn't think so.[/quote]

No, you didn't think at all.  It was a neighborhood listserv, actually.  The founders didn't even know each other to begin with, so - it was quite a lot like DCUM except a smaller pool of readers/participants.

Keep being you.[/quote]

It was not a neighborhood Listserv. It was people on DCUM who got together on a Listserv and didn't even get to the point where they could meet because it broke down so quickly. [b]I know[/b] because I was one of the wide-eyes optimistic people who relied and wanted to do it. You need a lot more than an idea to create a charter school.[/quote]

No you don't.  Really, it's not a secret that this specific example is one of the most sought-after schools in the District, and yes, it started on a neighborhood listserv.  Pipe down, since you obviously don't know what you're bloviating about.[/quote]

It was not a neighborhood Listserv. It was a Listserv started by the people on te DCUM threadZ continuing to treat that it was a neighborhood Listserv will not make it so.[/quote]

Again, for the confused, at least one highly regarded charter school, one of the best in the city, came about because of a small group that formed on a neighborhood listserv.  Much smaller than DCUM, and NO, NOT DCUM.  DCUM had nothing to do with it.  Shut up with the DCUM talk, you really don't know whst you are talking about.

So, yes, it can be done.  [/quote]
