Um

I have not posted here in a while. Of course, I don't know that anyone even reads this blog. In an effort to keep up with all my blogs, I promise to post here at least once a week.

This post will start a string of posts having to do with the direction of public education. So, here goes nothing.

With the presidential election quickly approaching, I wonder what will happen to public schools. For the first time I can remember, both major party candidates are talking about funding for charter schools. I can't say that I blame them. Public schools are failing. The best innovation in schooling is happening in places like New Orleans where charter schools are filling a void.

I'm not thrilled about the deterioration of our public education system, but after being outside of schools for a year, I'm ready for things to change.

What do you think? Are charter schools now just an inevitability? Are public schools doomed?
