Former employee and parent of a charter school student. I really want to share what happens on the inside behind the smoke and mirrors, so that parents and policy makers can make more informed decisions. The opinions expressed are my own, and all details are 100% true to the best of my knowledge and recollection.

A brief intro to why I am doing this
I was employed at a charter school that my child attended, I honestly thought it was a better alternative to the local public school system. The staff are sales people who sell their school, without telling parents about what their children are really getting. I call it a bait and switch. Had I not been employed there (the only employee whose child attended the school should have told me something) I may never have known how bad the situation really was. I voluntarily ended my employment there, and pulled my child out. I have since realized that even the worse public school is still much better than the charter option. I want our government to stop wasting our tax money making businessmen richer at the expense of our children. Charter Schools do not equal a better education, it is not even equivalent. I do not know the laws about exposing the true workings of a business, even one receiving public funds, so I am staying anonymous and not mentioning particular names. I am fairly certain that the chain of schools I worked for are not unique and that this charter school problem is an epidemic that needs to end.
