We Need Charter Schools
by Enough Government Control
Feb 24, 2010
I think we should have charter schools to force accountability on the many useless teachers we have in our state who are apathetic toward student learning. The WVEA and AFT should actually endorse charter schools instead of being so defiant about the issue. I've had it with the WVEA. In June, I am dropping my membership once and for all. My daughter has a useless teacher who is in education just for the paycheck (while not much) and her benefits. My daughter constantly complains about how the class is out of control and how they don't do any meaningful learning. I am sure charter schools would correct this problem. It's a shame the unions are in it for the teachers and NOT the kids. BTW, I am a teacher.

the truth I am on our school's LSIC because of the reports our administration was sending into the state. Last year, at our high school, they reported a TOTAL OF 2 skippers for the entire year. The year before 25. WE have that in one morning during one period. If you don't see a problem, if you don't say there is a problem, then we don't have a problem... ju...See More

beatthekidsincharterschools There's a science teacher from a charter school in texas that I'm sure could teach your daughter very well. Or, hey, your daughter could take a little personal responsibility for cracking a book open and learning a few things so she can have a meaningful conversation in the class with the teacher. But it is just easier to cast blame and whine. It's...See More
