I'm going to start calling you Larry "straw man" Lyons.  At no time
have I talked about charter schools.  This is at least the third
(maybe the fourth) unrelated program you've brought up to knock down.

Eh...  That was a pretty weak study.  Maybe the same, maybe not,
didn't really have a conclusion.  I like the part that said "Roughly
half of the students opt out of their assigned high school to attend a
different CPS school, and these students are much more likely than
stayers to graduate."  Looks like it was helping those kids.  Perhaps
it didn't help the others as much, but I didn't see anything in your
quote to confirm that it conclusively hurt them, only that is
conclusively helped some.

Larry, I can agree that there are certainly alot of messeg up things
about the education system.  I can also agree that any solution that
either of us come up with might not have the outcome we think it will
(good or bad).

Either way, I think I'm done knowing down scarecrows.
