[quote=Anonymous]OP Here-

As most families in DC do, we applied to many, many charter and public schools.  Thankfully, we did end up getting a spot at our first choice.  But, no matter what school we would have ended up going to, we would have embraced it and helped the school as much as possible.  Why would I take my children to a school but continue on the outside to complain/grumble about the school?  Constructive criticism - or better yet, providing feedback and suggestions for improved - is fine.  But, what's the point of attending a school that you are not embracing?  Perhaps I placed to much emphasis on the "free" care because I couldn't figure out why people would just criticize a school that hundreds of other families would have been so THANKFUL to attend.  As I stated before, there's nothing I can do other than vent on DCUM - I certainly can't hand out "sad face" stickers to the grumpy, rude parents.  But, I personally don't want other grumpy people at our school - if the reason they are grumpy because they wanted another school.

Finally, as people will be deciding over the next couple of months:
1) PLEASE think hard about the CHARTER school you choose.
2) IF you don't get the school that you really wanted, then PLEASE EMBRACE the school that you do end up going to.  Sure, not everyone has time to help their children's school.  But, even if you are only in school 5 minutes a day - make those five minutes the best!

I'm not sure how anyone can disagree with these suggestions.  But, okay, go ahead and do so.[/quote]
