...and retired. I can tell you this. I've subbed both sides (public & charters) I love Obama, but he is very naive about charter schools. Charter schools are a mess....they are in a chaotic state....their lunch programs are awful. They are for sure only in for the profit. Also, you should see how many full time subs they hire at terrible wages...it's disgusting.
