A little clarification for my sake

Some random stranger made a comment to my last post, which is fine, but I thought I would clarify a few things. First of all, I do think of myself as a proactive parent. More proactive than most, less than some. Secondly, I like public school and would love to see it improve and get better. I think there are many great teachers out there. I volunteer my time and do as much as I feel I can do within my capabilities. I do feel that nothing will prepare a person for real life like public school. However, in some situations, kids are falling through the cracks no matter how hard you work at it or try. And sometimes too many choices can be a bad thing. Thirdly, it's not just a "charter school" that I want my children to get their education from. I did not mean to infer that I simply wanted any old "charter school." I know of one charter school where one of the teachers is not even an educator and a drug addict. Stability is super important to me and I don't think it's a good idea to take your kids out of school and put them in a charter school just because it is the rage. I think much research has to be done before doing that. I can't tell you how many people take their kids out of public school, put them in a charter, take them out of that one, put them back in public school, find another charter and put them there. That is ridiculous! So, my priorities on a new school are: 1) feel comfortable with everything about the school, 2) have many recommendations (from parents and students) about the school, 3) not have any bad things said about the school and 4) location, location, location. So, unless I have those priorities, I won't move my children. Stability counts for something in my book! And, let's face it, this is my book! Plus, I was just crabby last post!
