See my first link in this post.<br /><br />So add the kids who are too old or too young for K-12 school, the private school kids, the drop outs, the home schoolers, and you get the 4,383.<br /><br />My point here is that a 30% total FRPL lunch rate for the entire city is the lowest possible VERIFIABLE calculation (and is certainly way too low) yet it is still WAY higher than the charter rate.<br /><br />In other words: the Hoboken charter industry is pushing a meme that is demonstrably false.Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16535645107179796099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-81775088213917069552014-04-02T13:43:31.066-07:002014-04-02T13:43:31.066-07:00The public schools have 1,706 students and the cha...The public schools have 1,706 students and the charters have 775 students, that's a total of 2,481 students. There are 4,383 school age children in Hoboken. Both the public and the charters account for only 57% of these kids.<br /><br />Where are the other 1,902 school children? Do they use free of reduced lunches?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176412174864263685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-5464599068321709152014-04-01T07:01:29.026-07:002014-04-01T07:01:29.026-07:00To borrow from Paul Krugman, these are zombie myth...To borrow from Paul Krugman, these are zombie myths that refuse to die.Giuseppehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03418801372998968620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-4987938709042787382014-03-31T16:29:57.972-07:002014-03-31T16:29:57.972-07:00Thank you for taking the time to debunk the myths ...Thank you for taking the time to debunk the myths that have been circulating!!Hoboken Schoolshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07398938671265738160noreply@blogger.com
