[quote=Anonymous]The same issue you cited re Montessori exists in any public school — for example Deal deviates from IB math (which doesn’t follow the US sequence of preAlgebra, Algebra, Geometry, etc). As for charters — yes they must cover the same basic content (the standards) but they can choose different curriculums. The real differences are around governance and independence. For good and bad, charters don’t have a central office to tell them what to do, and they don’t have a central office to support them. The majority of teachers in a charter must be ‘highly qualified’ but they do not have to have teacher certification. [/quote]
