I told the boys what you said and they just grinned! ;) <br /><br />Ina, <br /><br />I am fascinated by the charter school concept, so I'll be interested to learn more. Honestly I am for just about anything that will introduce competition into an area that desperately needs it (in my opinion. I would love to see them at least give homeschooling a nod but I think the children they are following are from inner-city DC. Often in those situations you have 2 working parents and/or single parent homes so homeschooling may not be an option for those families.

I am hoping it comes out in Canada or I will have to wait for video. I suspect (from what I read and what I saw on Oprah) that they are looking to charter schools as a solution.

Like you, I'm curious to see what they propose doing to make things better. My mom was a public school teacher and it was sad to see her get more and more frustrated every year with how things were changing (for the worse).<br /><br />P.S. I love the new pictures of your boys in the sidebar. What a handsome crew!Kelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16095729633573268457noreply@blogger.com
