Nope. I don't use next door, too much random stuff.

I want to talk about the benefits of charter schools because their scores are higher but i want to get the perspective of someone who has children in them because they can compare the schools the best.

Hi, I am sorry to hear you feel that way about NJEA, but as I mentioned in my edit, MY personal goal is not to discredit anyone but to write what can be proven. Scores in most charter schools are far better but I want to know why. The small classrooms may be the key, the distribution of funds, the quality of teachers. As I mentioned below, the general perspective is that charters are selective, hurt local schools, etc, but I want to talk about the ones JC residents have access to, not the general idea of what a charter school does.

My goal is to reach out to JC wherever I can, facebook, twitter, reddit, any way possible so that I can hear the neighborhoods perspective and formally interview them because unless there are EXTREME circumstances, I and most journalists prefer to not use anonymous sources as there is no way to confirm their words.

Thank you, I am aware that lottery takes place when too many students/parents apply and that if a student has a sibling in a charter they will get preference because there is a benefit to them being together. I say there are more selective because that is the national perspective and I want to make sure that in Jersey City, people know how they work and if they work (like with your children). If there is more support and the right kind of support, where students feel they're cared for, that is something that makes a significant difference.
