On Tuesday I will travel to Albany to show my support for charter schools. If public schools continue to underperform above 96th street on the UWS, then I have no choice to send him to a charter school. We are so lucky to have a charter school as an option.
My son has 25 kids in his class, two teachers (sometimes 3) and is learning another language. The school is clean not over crowded. There's a school bus that picks him up and drops him off and he has breakfast and lunch at school.
If the state wants to make things fair they should make sure EVERY school gets equal funding and not have schools in certain neighborhoods be better funded than others. Our kids all deserve an AWESOME education, not just those that live in the right district and zone.
