I BELIEVE in the importance of public schooling, but if I had kids, I would have a hard time sending them to one. It's so very sad and I wish parents would understand how crucially important this fight is. Your child's teachers are some of the most important adults with whom they will come into contact. WHY do we treat them so badly?

ETA: I would NEVER consider a charter school. That is just blasphemy to this child of a teacher.
