6. Moskowitz seems unaware of her school's attitude toward disabilities.
More from the article:

"Moskowitz doesn’t buy the self-selection premise. The children in proximate zoned schools, she insists, “are the same kids we have.” She notes that Success floods the neighborhood with glossy oversize brochures (six pieces per household, at a cost of more than $300,000 per year), and that two of three eligible Harlem families actually fill one out. “Zoned schools say, ‘We have families from domestic-violence shelters’—so do we,” Moskowitz says. “They’ve got families in blah-blah situations—so do we.”

But they apparently don't have to keep them? :shrug:

Oh, BTW, that is most likely taxpayer money paying for those glossy brochures that flood the neighborhoods. Public schools don't have money to advertise like that.
