Yeah, I think that a parent with a child with an IEP and those who
already understand the possibilities of smaller inclusion classrooms
for more "typical" kids are a better fit for CMI then a naïve and snobbish
parent such as the OP.

That would violate the charter law. So talk to Congress about that.

Also CMI is an inclusion school. Needs a MIX of kids with special needs and kids without to work well. Although happily many best practices for children with special needs are also good for typically-developing kids.

Maybe a prerequisite should be to submit your IEP or similar documentation along with submitting your application.

Just to be aware, the commute to CMI from Ward 6, 7 and 8 is 30 min to 60 min one way.

That's clearly discriminatory. They should have a campus in every Ward, especially 7 and 8.

It is 30 minutes from ward 3 also. What's your point?

Very discriminatory too.

They should have a campus 10 minutes from our house, walking

They should put a campus in each persons house. CMI should personal come to everyone's house in the morning and teach all kids in DC. All CMI in all 8 Wards.

CMI for All!!

+1. Short of that, CMI is clearly cherry picking some kids and excluding others

Clearly?

Please show how a school in the common lottery is "clearly" cherry picking some kids and excluding others. As someone who would specifically love to have been cherry picked, please let me know so I can approach CMI. SHould I give them money? What EXACTLY do I need to do to get picked? Please show us how this is done.
