[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 235382"] Also regarding the charter school..The neighbor girl, who is a super sweet girl is now in her last year at the charter school. 8th grade. since the school is so small, and is all she has known she is terrified of High School. We have several "choice" High Schools as well as the two district schools. the one district school is a block away. Has 3000 kids. This girl is so talented, but the charter school offers no electives as the public middle schools do. She is terrified to go to High School. Afraid kids will make fun of her. She chose one of the "choice" High schools. This particular High School also houses the Kenosha Military Acadamy. I work the lunch program their sometimes. These kids are always in uniform. They look very nice. When I mentioned the KMA to this girl she said she is afraid of the ones in uniform and will stay away from them. Small private or small charter schools may work great for some kids. Not mine. And not what they (in my town)have to offer. They do nothing to prepare the kids for the real world. [/QUOTE]
