Re: [LM_NET] Charter School Library Budget or Account Quiestion

[Paula Yohe <paula_yohe@YAHOO.COM>]

Frankly this one one of my complaints about charter
schools.
When they have to adhere to the same laws as the
public schools do - then I may support the concept.
But when these types of schools are established - in
most cases - they pretty much do what they want --
same as a private school.

I am surprised that they even have a library. Alot of
them don't.

For me, this is another example of  folks trying to
destory public education instead of fixing the
problems that are in the schools.

What a sad state of affairs this is-- talk about
limiting children's education -
