Why did you have to write personal checks in order for your daughter to attend a school that you said was free and open to all state residents? I just read over your threads and you indicated that your child was in a free public charter school.
Ugh, this is like banging my head against a brick wall. I said that when I lived in one district and worked in another, I had to pay tuition to put her in a PRIVATE school. Not a public charter school. A private one. I said that multiple times.
"I ended up having to pay for a private school "
"We didn't have a charter option back then. I put her in a private school"
"I had to pay private tuition for my own child."
"If there had been charter schools back then, I would have had access to a free education for my kid."
I wrote personal checks to cover tuition at a private school because there were no public schools she could attend. Oh my god, I cannot state that any clearer than I already did.
FYI: I also posted "Once we moved and she was allowed to attend a traditional public school, we placed her there up until high school." Until high school. That's when she switched to a public charter. Maybe you missed that detail and had a hard time understanding that the private school was when I said it was, and the public charter was (obviously) at a different time?

A lot of EDU posts wind up in GD. Not sure how many folks realize this group is here.

Not quite. There are districts that are 'School of Choice' meaning they will take students

Every charter school I work with is a public charter school, with union teachers.

That's offensive. Many of us greatly value the thoughts of our retirees.
