Reply #50: Woo hoo!

[all.of.me]

Our charter school here, which both my girls went to, has the highest test scores in the state, despite the fact that we got half the money of the other public schools and had less than half the resources (no science lab, no computer lab, etc). My older daughter has now gone on to the public high school (no charter high yet), and she is so advanced, she could be moved up to 11th grade. We're not doing that, so she is bored, but the up side is that she is doing extra curricular activities (training to teach sex ed to middle schoolers for pay, and more) that she'd otherwise not be able to do.

My younger daughter is in a very alternative charter school now that is affiliated with Outward Bound. She is challenged and growing, and that is filtering into her personal life.

We are starting a charter high school also affiliated with Outward Bound. My older daughter will be out of the loop for it, but the little one will be there. I am excited! I am all for charter schools!
