[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, that's not what the $265K/yr. poster said (please reread the post above). She thinks that her poor money management skills should still get her child into any school of her choice. Unfortunately for her, America (and capitalism) doesn't work that way. She will only be able to send her child to the school that she can afford (private or moving IB), or getting lucky in the lottery. Both you and the prior poster are not owed anything by people who live IB for JKLM or other desirable schools. No one pays my mortgage or taxes except me and my husband. Therefore, we can only live where we can afford to rent or buy. Why should you be treated any differently?!?[/quote]

I have no idea what you are talking about.  I have no idea what her poor management skills have to do with where she sends her child to school.  What I'm saying is if she is already in bounds for a great school why take the spot in a charter?  I don't give a rats ass how much she makes.[/quote]

Because JKLMORS, etc. parents have as much of a right to a charter spot as you do!  Too bad if you don't like that parents with great IB schools, who send their children to charters, have more/better options than you.  There will always be people who have more than you do...it's called LIFE.  I/they/we don't owe you anything!!![/quote]

Who said you owe me anything???   :roll:   I don't live my life on the premise that I'm OWED anything.  My kid goes to Murch is that makes any difference.  I'm lucky that I'm in a position to send my child there and don't take it for granted.  I've made many sacrifices to be able to do that.  there are families who work very hard ETOP who would LOVE to have an opportunity to send their child to a school like ours.  I just find it ridiculous that you'd see a need to take a charter spot.  To each her own, right.  Perhaps living in a million dollar home in Tenley entitles you to whatever you damn please.  [/quote]

You seem to be saying that people who live IB for good public schools OWE it to IB parents of bad schools to not take a charter spot.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.[/quote]

I'm saying it's wrong, yes.  The word "owe" is thrown a lot here and I'm not sure what it has to do with anything.  [/quote]

Who cares if you think it's wrong?!?  Very few people, including council members and DCPS administrators, agree with you.  I will happily continue to send my IB Janney child to our highly sought after language immersion charter.  If that fact makes you angry and/or keeps you up at night...even better!  There's not a damn thing that you can do about it.  [/quote]

You sound more and more insane the more you post.  I can assure you that the only thing that keeps me up at night is the well being of my child who I made sure goes to a good IB school.  I do, however, have a right to express my opinion as a citizen of DC and a tax payer and no amount of your nastiness is going to stop me from doing just that.[/quote]

And you sound like someone who can't mind their own business.  You're not a moral authority on this topic.  Families who live IB for good schools have every right to attend any charter that admits them.  You certainly have a right to express your opinion.  However, in this case, your opinion doesn't matter.[/quote]
