[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the charter school employee from higher up on this thread.

I don't think that people are "faking" this, or that this is a joke.  I do think that people are understimating what it takes to start a charter school.  The task that people are talking about is enormous, and complex, and requires a great deal of expertise, a great deal of money, and a great deal of time.

I wish you all luck, and will be curious how this turns out.[/quote]

Hi! Could you enlighten us on what we could say to indicate we are not "underestimating what it takes to start a charter school". I'm just not understanding what posts thus far give you impression that we've underestimated the undertaking. This idea was conceived just yesterday. Should we have a charter penned by now. Somehow, I'm not too sure you're really a charter employee. To be so short-sighted and negative for the sole purpose of discouraging a very energized group, I have a hard time believing your negative energy is directed towards children. If it is, God help them! Anyways, if you have something positive to add, like a realistic picture of the realities we'll likely face, we'd love your constructive feedback. TIA :lol: [/quote]

I'm on the email list, and I don't think that anyone's underestimating that it will be a lot of work. None of the schools everyone (including me) raves about on this board would have gotten started if people hadn't seen a need for that kind of program and been willing to do the work to put something together.

I agree that such an endeavor will require a lot of investment (both in terms of time and money) from the founders - that sort of investment is the reason that founders get preference at the schools they create. My child will likely be too old for Haricots Verts by the time it gets off the ground, but that wouldn't stop me from being willing to put in the work to make it a reality. [/quote]
