(11,184 posts)Can't believe that anyone else might be right.
Because he/she is a charter teacher (cushy job), he/she believes that they are all wonderful and can't wrap a mind around the idea that he/she is a part of the destruction and privatization of the American school. I guess if I had a nice job without the hassle of having to deal with all children and with the president's man praising me 24/7, I might be able to close my mind to reality. (If I didn't care about the kids I worked with that couldn't get into the schools that syphoned money, attention, and talent from real schools.)
Yeah. I got a chip about Charters. I watched them take money from mainstream schools, kick out the kids who didn't conform to their idea of conformity and wooed some of my best teachers away from where they were needed. The district had a policy of putting the kids whose parents where attending board meetings and complaining into charters. Kept them quiet.
