Oh, and to add, I guess that there is an insinuation here that[b] it is hypocritical to live in a poor area but not send your children to public schools, [/b]and... that's really bizarre.  I am willing to pay money for a better school experience just like the people all over the region, with smaller classes, less testing, language immersion, and aspects of character education and Christian education incorporated into the curriculum.  Nonetheless it was a decision I agonized over quite a bit, until I decided it was worth it to try preschool and see if it was a good experience or go back to the public school.  DH also very strongly preferred the Catholic school.  But our neighbors' children have attended public school and I am very impressed at how poised and polite they are.  I am making this area work for me and it is working very well.[/quote]

It's not.

It is, however, hypocritical, to sing praises to your community and then spend money to isolate your child from the children of its members. [/quote]

We do that all the time in DC. For those who cannot afford private or want to say, I support public schools, [b]we Send our kids to niche charters like YY, Lamb, and CMI. [/b]These schools have small class room sizes, active parents, foreign languages in elementary, and the ability to dissuade disreputive/underperforming students to leave.  We call them public because they are paid with our tax dollars and not our after tax income. But, we all know that most, if not all,are just low-rent private schools paid with tax dollars. [b]Schools without the headaches of traditional public schools.[/b] Win-win for us. [/quote]
You can't "send" your kids to charters, let alone popular charters. You have to lottery and pray for luck. Don't make things sound accessible when they aren't. [/quote]
