[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ew.  So what you are saying is you don't care about educating all kids.  You just care about educating kids as long as they choose DCPS?

You are just gross.[/quote]

I care about having buildings for public schools.  I don't care about giving buildings to private companies.

Nice try with the extrapolation BTW.[/quote]

Charter schools are public schools.  [/quote]

Charter schools are private companies that run public schools.[/quote]

DP - wow PP, nice overgeneralization which = misrepresentation.  But since you're claiming they're private companies, please, do us the honor of naming the private companies that are behind: Yu Ying, LAMB, Stokes, 2 Rivers, CMI, Mundo Verde, Haynes and Capital City.  What are the names of the private corporations or companies that own them/run them?

I know Kipp and a few others are part of much larger models, but since you're trying to paint everyone with one giant (ignorant) brushstroke, name the private companies/corporations behind the schools listed above?

I won't hold my breath...[/quote]

NP. The Walmart Foundation has given YY and MV lots of money over the years. My kid is at one of the schools you listed, and I had no qualms in describing my kid's education as privately/independently operated with tax payers dollars. It is what it is. By the way, the school was described the same way by many of the parents as we talked while watching our children run around playing. Acknowledging the truth does not mean that the schools are not wanted and needed. [/quote]

Acknowledging the truth is a good thing - you should try it sometime.  Walmart and corporations contributing to or donating to a school do NOT = "the school is owned by a private company or corporation".  You are twisting a truth of corporate donations into a ridiculous lie of a private corporation-run school.

Again, the truth is a good thing, try it sometime.[/quote]
