Anne, a parent of three, talked with us about her experience with Rocketship Charter Schools. She says that her two adopted children from China and her one biological child all are benefiting from the multicultural atmosphere of their school. Anne says she finds the quality of education at their charter school is “a good way to approach or maybe attain a level of education that most people associate with a private school,” for a public school cost to her family.
She also is enthusiastic about the teachers and administration at her school.
It seems like the people who have the most excitement and energy around education reform are in charter schools in leadership positions. You’re getting an administration and teachers who are ready to try something different. Their energy is infectious and their ideas are good and they are usually receptive to hearing other people’s ideas because it’s all part of this thing that’s more than just what’s happening at the school that day. It’s really about reforming all of education.
