Charter Schools
Dear Mr. President,
I am a Senior Elementary Education major at Western Illinois University. I am also currently enrolled in an Education Law and Policy class. In this class we have learned about a broad range of policies concerning school districts; the policy I am most interested in is the implementation of charter schools. I think charter schools would be a wonderful addition to our public school system. I believe that if charter schools became widespread we would see an end to the traditional public school. Charter schools would create competition between school districts; each school would be fighting to be the best so parents would choose to send their children there. Charter schools also would not have the public school union to deal with. This would force teachers to work their hardest, because their job is in jeopardy from year to year if they are not teaching to the schools standards. This would leave the traditional public schools in the dust. I also think that all parents should have the choice of where to educate their children. Charter schools would make this possibility into a reality. If you had a choice between two schools in your district, wouldn’t you want to send your child to the one that best fits their needs? If charter schools were implemented into our society I believe that we would have a stronger education system that would produce more effective learners. Charter schools are known for their parent involvement. It is a proven fact that when parents are involved in a school district that district more successful. I think that charter schools would be a very beneficial addition to our school system. Charter schools are designed to help students and teachers reach their full potential, while giving parents reassurance that their child is learning. Please keep this in mind when you are re-evaluating our nation’s current school policies.
Thank you for your time,
Skyler Harmon
