and they need to learn form the charter schools that are doing well random thoughts Send a noteboard - 20/09/2011 10:06:19 PM
I don't think charter schools are the final answer but the ones who succeed show us that there is a better way and it isn't just the kids and the parents. I think if we gave more power to principals we will have some dramatic failures but guess what we already have that. My daughter goes to a regular public and it is a great school and that isn't an accident. If you give parents choices they will pick the best schools and the worst will either improve or die. Charter schools are not the answer accountability and choice are the answer.
