I feel the charter schools are giving your child a little bit more than you would get in a strictly public school, my neice and nephew went to one in grammar school and and I think she wishes the kids could have gone straight through high school in her area there was only the charter schools for grammar schools then they main streamed them all in for junior high and high school. They were leaning French in 1st grade it was wonderful what they were doing, I would jump on this opportunity you have been given.
