[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My neighbors daughter is 2 and can barely talk or barely potty trained and goes to Mary McLeod  Bethune. She turns 3 December 15th[/quote]

How is this ok with the charter board?  (And I'm in general a proponent of cross sector collaboration and public choice)[/quote]

Puzzling. What trips me out is a parent is that pressed to say their child is in school by sending them when clearly they aren't ready.  She needs more daycare and not structure.  She really can't talk. I guess some parents do it to save money on daycare. I think its different when you're 4 or maybe 5 with late birthdays because you may actually be ready but age 2, not talking, not using the bathroom, I'm not sure how that works but hey, she's in school.

Also, charter schools do what they want.  Their teachers do not have to be certified or anything.  If they feel you are qualified just based on your resume, you got the job.  My girlfriend moved up here from Atlanta and started teacher kindergarten at a charter school. No background in teaching. She came from marketing department at a law firm. *smh*[/quote]
