Just curious if these schools did anything to you or your property that would piss you off so much personally?

really Bob, just what is your stake in all of this? You seem to really being venting big time over this issue. anela1111 hit the hammer on the nail. The only complaints are coming from the MWS. Since day one when Waters of Life was coming back, they MWS took up the offense because they felt threatened. What Waters of Life has done for me is allowed my son to go to a school closer to home. Be in the Charter school system, and be able to attend it for free. I could never afford to send my kid[s] to MWS. Couldn't afford tuition, with raising health care cost,food prices, gas prices etc,etc, all on the rise...not to mention a mortgage too. So naturally I was elated when I found out about the return of 'Waters of Life' .
On the other hand it only fitting that MWS would be bitter about the "new kid on the block". But they need to get over it!

Politics, politics, politics, that's all it is! I've been to two of the HPP campuses,and I can tell you that neither are a fire hazard, or health hazard. Nor do I see these campuses being a problem to the neighborhoods. Kids aren't running all over street after school, they hang on property until parents arrive to take them home.

It's a shame that MWS feels threatened because there is another charter school in the same neighborhood, and that charter school is free! Sure MWS lost some staff and enrollment, but that's to be expected right? Perhaps MWS needs to offer up their education for "free"too?[]
