  1. @MelWebster Hi Mel, so glad to see you!
  2. When I remember the way I have acted toward some people in the past, I wince. Talk about unskillful actions. Glad I can improve on that now.
  3. @KBestOliver Why do you always bake when I will not be seeing you? Is this some terrible conspiracy? Do you bear a grudge against me?
  4. Digging in to my expenses and the impact on my taxes early this year. Wow. Glad its only November.
  5. @chriscleeland i am serious about my offer to have a face to face - would like to learn more about your perspective.
  6. @lonesometoast @Patricialicious I think it would be great.It is an important discussion (and brooke - arts and education go hand in hand!)
  7. Am done with clogging my twitter stream (sorry to any I've bored)& I need to go be an evil capitalist to pay taxes for ALL public schools.
  8. I am serious about getting together with anyone who wants to discuss education/charter schools/STL. Most important issue we have.
  9. Disclosure: I am on a nascent charter school board who is contracting with a non-profit management company. It is all about the kids for us.
  10. @chriscleeland Actually first charter school was in Minnesota 12 years ago. I think we should meet and have a beverage and talk.
  11. @sethteel Charter schools often hire STL teachers. I don't understand the problem.
  12. @chriscleeland One example is http://sllis.org Here is the link from before - http://bit.ly/4qLLrK
  13. @chriscleeland No, the standards are not different. If U want some great reading materials on the history and structure of Charters,ping me.
  14. @chriscleeland Well you are misinformed. Not all charters have management cos, not all are are for profit, and everyone answers to DESE.
  15. @chriscleeland Did you go to the link? Might help you understand. Though the structure is different, charters R still public schools.
  16. @chriscleeland Because by definition they are. You have not yet shown me how my definition is wrong.
  17. @chriscleeland And charter schools in missouri answer to DESE, same as public schools, and use same funds. so how are charters not public?
  18. @chriscleeland tell me how they are not public. they use public money, they are under the governance of the public department of education.
  19. @chriscleeland ...but it makes NO SENSE to call tehm private schools. Hate them as the *public* schools they are. Thats all I am saying.
  20. @chriscleeland DESE is not a school board. DESE is the Missouri Department of Education. You can hate Charter schools, I don't care....
