[Durham INC] example palming off costs on the public

[Christine Chamberlain]

I'm not following your logic on this one... I get it that you're liberal, and you want to dig up dirt on Healthy Start Academy... could you be a little clearer what you're "just asking"?

I've heard of the unwholesome practice of poverty stricken parents having 
more children to avail themselves of additional government services. 
Fortunately, one such set of parents can't just kidnap another parent's kids for 
that purpose.
 
Is it possible that charter schools have that ability?

I'm just asking,

Pat,  normally I agree with your position on topics sent to the list.  However,  being the mother of a middle school-aged child, as well as the founder of the  first charter school in NC, I'd like to point out a flaw in your gripe  below.  Since when are parents entitled to babysitters and  carpools?  Is it the government's job to babysit children?  I resent  the idea that my tax dollars should pay for babysitting and carpooling someone  else's kid!.  My first thought was "where are the parents?"

After a  while, I figured out they are students at Kestrel Heights, one of our charter  schools.  Apparently the Kestrel Heights business plan does not include  providing transportation OR watching kids until their parents get there.
