My kids attend(ed) an amazing charter school. My son exempted his first year of college, and produced a 4.0 in his first semester last fall, because he is so well prepared for it by the charter school. Its a wonderful alternative.

Around here, there’s been a fair amount of corruption, followed by the crash-n-burn of the charter school. Students get hurt, teachers get stiffed, and the insiders take it to the bank.

Not in Pennsylvania.

The teachers unions went to Defcon 1 electing Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf AND a Democrat Supreme Court majority for the specific purpose of kneecapping charter schools.

NW Arkansas here-an embarassment of riches here in the wealthiest county in Arkansas. Granddaughter attends K in a classical academy charter, grandson freshman in a tech charter that will see him with an associates degree when he graduates.
