[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Appletree can't choose its students. They have to take who they get through the lottery. So if rich white families get in, that's their student body. They can try and open in neighborhoods that are poor or economically mixed, and/or near public transit, but what more do you want them to do? They can't have a preference for economically disadvantaged kids.[/quote]

I'm also guessing they wouldn't want to, since the presence of "rich white" kids is going to be beneficial to the economically disadvantaged kids. Don't studies show that lower performing kids learn better if mixed with higher performing kids?[/quote]

Stop guessing, then.  Duh.   :roll:

Anyone with a few brain cells to rub together knows that charter schools go where they can find a location they can afford, not where some random b*tcher on the intertubes thinks is convenient for her own sorry self.  Meanwhile, it's not as if DC is following the law of providing facilities to charters and treating students in charters equitably.

Why do you spew your ignorance?[/quote]

What makes you so angry in life that you randomly lash out? The only point I was making is that Appletree has no interest in preventing higher SES families (whether from east or west of the park) from lotterying into their schools, because a school that is 100% low income is not going to be ideal for the low income population it is aiming to serve. Are you disputing this? Anything else that might have upset you was posted by others - I never asked for Appletree or any charter in my neighborhood. It's an anonymous forum with multiple posters, you know. [/quote]
