(6,231 posts)in a list of supplies that need to be organized and put away, takes more than 10 min. more like 1 hour. This is just a small example
I don't know why you would hone in on this. It was nice to walk into the class on the first day of school with everything in place.
Another great example is that the kids each had 1/2 hour individually with the teacher before school began to meet the teacher and go through a small assessment of their knowledge. They were introduced to the class and felt comfortable on the first day of school.
My child was in Kindergarten so this made it especially nice. I know that the public school did not do this and it was an extra touch
that enabled the teacher to know her students before they walked in on the first day.
This is not an attack on teachers or the public school. I am simply stating that I happened to be in a great charter and I am thankful.
I know that many teachers on this board oppose charters and talk about them as if they are the worst places to send your child. My
experience this year has been exceptional and I can attest that not all charters are the same, just as all public schools are not
the same.
