...<i>Raising the cap on charter schools is part of it</i><br /><br />Dude, get a clue. Charter schools are PUBLIC schools. In fact, they're "free public schools." As the local charter school found out, they are just as much under state government control as the other public schools in the county.Your friendly neighborhood Teahadistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-33280378984859964972011-02-13T16:34:13.295-05:002011-02-13T16:34:13.295-05:00Trouble is, these newly elected by disguised corp...Trouble is, these newly elected by disguised corporate money legislators have no shame. <br /><br />This is a white-power religious right move.<br /><br />Please wake up fellow residents.

She had a great education in her small town school and went to Women's College where she was able to work her way through, with no debt, and get a world-class education. She would be so disappointed to see our proud tradition of public education dismantled by these radical kooks. She considered herself a fiscal conservative from the depression era, but always believed that investing in education is the only way to create a secure future.Brushfirenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-24332981668232658662011-02-13T08:53:34.554-05:002011-02-13T08:53:34.554-05:00It just makes me want to cry.

If this continues I dread seeing what their children will be offered in the way of public education. <br />Education is the basis of knowledge which is the basis of everything. It is a right all Americans deserve. Yes, we are entitled to it. Our very freedom depends upon it. And what a shame for NC where we've been so proud of our public education system - to be leaders in it's demise. Shall we all crawl under a rock? NO, we should fight...hard!
