Although this week's reading requirement was not as hectic as usual, but the topic that was brought up was very interesting. Just to keep everyone up-to-date... I am still in the process of my field experience. I did my shadowing, I am planning on attending a meeting on November 17Th, and I have been trying very hard to get in contact with my site liaison to help her in the classroom as one part of the community service...
...As stressful as that sounds, back to the reading. I was a little confused about the whole "charter school" concept. I heard the term before but never truly understood what it meant. Charter schools are institutions that can be formulated by communities or people that have a specific purpose -- a subject area. Everything in the charter school is not "taught to the test" as you hear in almost every public school setting. Charter schools have teachers that work long, hard hours, with potentially less pay and work with students with certain abilities that they enjoy because they are good at them.
I think that charter schools are a great idea because if teachers are working hard and presenting a result, and at the same time students are learning, having fun, and enjoying themselves while comprehending the material... is all that should matter.

Charter schools serve their own cause in a good way. if parents are enrolling their students and the students are producing good results then why not. If a kid learns better with a charter school standardsthen I dont see the problem.
