[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, from where I stand:

The "exaggerated claims" are:

the cabal of boosters of you conjure up(who can't exist because there is no school):

1. Think Sela will be a good school (The nerve!)
2. Believe that they found a good location (must be crazy!)
3. Hope to be part of DCI (how dare they!)
4. Believe the school will be diverse (which can be true because your snowflake won't be attending)
5. Think teaching Hebrew is a fine idea (crazy, because your snowflake won't be studying Hebrew)

I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, until I actually looked for evidence of "fabrications and exaggerated claims" and they simply don't exist. So, while I am loathe to conjure up my own conspiracy theories (aka your cabal of boosters canard), I think there is some wacky anti-charter or anti-Sela, or anti-Jewish element at play here and it's very sad. I take it very personally when people opine on what the children of DC want or need, since this usually a cloaked referenced to black children, and we have a multi-racial home. I welcome Sela and any other bilingual opportunity for my children.

This is pretty much what I saw as well.  As for how much traffic their table at the Expo got, that's a matter of opinion - and as for how many applications they will or won't get, that's a matter of hope and speculation.  Sela posters are every bit as much entitled to their opinions, hopes and speculations as anyone else.

I'm not a Sela supporter, we are enrolled in another school - but even so I don't see any reason to bash anyone else's school.  This whole "Ugh, those Sela people and their optimism and hope to succeed...  I can't stand them" thing is really quite bewildering.    I mean, really.  WTF.  Pee + Cheerios?[/quote]
