[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 235017, member: 1436"] Both of my younger children attended a Charter school for 4th, 5th, and 6th grade. The are schools funded by the state but without the state mandates for spending. They have more leeway in curriculum and spending. Most are under the direction of the local school district, but do not have to follow district mandates. I moved my children from their elementary school when the district implemented a mandated testing and learning system that focused on testing basic skills rather than teaching. It allowed more flexibility in what was done in the classroom. If done correctly Charter schools work. One of the best schools in our state is a Charter school. It is nationally recognized for it's program. [/QUOTE]
