Reply #50: Charter schools ARE PUBLIC schools!

[mzteris]

In many communities, charter public schools are the ONLY alternative available when the traditional school that is there fails to meet the child's needs. They are NOT "destroying pubic schools" They ARE public schools. They are SAVING "PUBLIC SCHOOLS' in many districts across the country. Thier PURPOSE is to provide a free and appropriate education for children whose needs are NOT being met in the traditional school available to them.

If you KNOW about improprieties, then REPORT them to the authorities. Have them investigated and shut down. Hell, give me their names and I"LL report them for you!!

YOUR "democratic party"? I thought it was OUR Democratic Party... You're not the only one, you know. And other people have other needs and other experiences that are JUST AS VALID - and AS DEMOCRATIC - as "yours".
