I am hoping some strong leaders will start programs that are healthy places for teaching and learning.Mary Bauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05615701194915209856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719054095435862871.post-29741269237057723952012-07-31T20:24:49.283-07:002012-07-31T20:24:49.283-07:00I too was torn years ago when charter schools came...I too was torn years ago when charter schools came to our state as they seemed to be "stealing" the best and brightest. As the teachers' association president, I was even vocal against them. However, as more and more of how I taught in the classroom was controlled by the bureaucracy, I knew I had to find something else for myself and also for my youngest child. That led me to a public charter school -- the BEST decision of my career and for my daughter's education. I will never go back to a traditional public school and now know that everything I thought about them before was wrong. Don't always believe everything you are "told" about charter schools.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04848636542594021035noreply@blogger.com
