Wisdom: Charter school deserves funding

Why is the charter school the bad guy here? Obviously many parents desire this choice and resent the fact that their kids cannot attend.



The real bad guy here is the school district. They have chosen to not replicate this successful model and instead fund choices that serve fewer children such as Red Canyon High School, the New America School, dual language and the TAP program. The choices the school district makes also haven’t increased achievement. We need to stop shooting the messenger and develop school models that work to increase achievement for the students we have as well as allowing parents choice.

Please bring in former charter school students who have gone through our district to your meetings and allow them to explain why the charter school assured them a positive future, but at the same time they feel let down by the district after their high school educations.

Love those Yorkies

(Refer to “Puppy eyes meet the Dog Scrooge”)

I understand where you’re coming from, but Yorkies are so sweet and I think if you gave him a chance he’d grow on you! Aside from the expense and not being allowed by the apartments, they really do bring a light into the family …
