An outline and reasons why I think Charter Schools are important to offer.

-->

Charter schools (an innovative public school) are better for some children’s character development and all around future compared to private, home and public schools.

1. Charter schools tend to have a higher level of dedication to the students individual needs.

1. Most charter schools have a topic that they specialize in, allowing students who are interested in that subject to have full attention on the subject.

1. Subjects vary from art of different forms such as music, painting and writing, to math, to agriculture.(McGrath)

1. An example of an art charter school would be the Albemarle County Public School in Charlottesville, VA (Albermarle).
2. Another example of an art charter schools would be the Bart Art Charter School in Berkshire county Mass, which was just identified as a “High growth school in English language arts and math(Bowen).

2. Charter schools also pay attention to students who have troubles in public schools with learning.

1. This follows the no child left behind rule (NCLBA).

1. The No child left behind act was created by President George Bush in 2001.
2. It makes it so that all students have to meet a certain education level to pass high school.

2. Most of the time it’s a requirement to have troubles with curriculum, socialization, or to learn in a different way compared to what normal public schooling offers.(Chen)

1. A different way compared to what normal public schooling teaches would be more hands on, or being in a smaller community of schooling.

2. Most students tend to have more educational, personal achievements after going to charter schools.

1. These students have more of a chance of achievement because, they are allowed to experiment and figure out what learning techniques help them, compared to being forced to do the same techniques as the “average” student understands.
2. Many charter high schools are breaking the mold by emphasizing rigorous academic standards and college preparedness.

1. Students who attend charter schools in Boston make significantly larger gains compared with students who attend traditional public schools (The center for Education Reforms).
2. High schools students who attend public charter schools in Chicago and Florida have higher graduation rates and a greater probability of attending college than their peers in traditional public school.

1. There is an increasing probability of graduation students by 7 to 15 percent, and an increase in the probably of the students enrolling in college by 8 to 10 percent (Zimmer).

3. A lot of students, who graduate from a charter school, go onto college more prepared of college compared to public schooling, because that’s part of their rigorous practices.

1. The Syracuse Academy of Science announces proudly that there main focus is to prepare their students for college math’s, science’s and technology (Syracuse Academy of Science Charter School).

3. All together these children help make a better community just being who they are and using the knowledge they’ve gained from being in a charter school.

1. These children are forced to be in the same learning room with children with social or learning problems.

1. This allows them to understand others disabilities and accept them for who they are.
2. This can conclude with no one being hurt or segregated for their problems.

2. They are also introduced to worldly and social problems on a regular basis.

1. The teaching then offers them different ways to go about their problems; academically, socially, politically, emotionally.

1. This could be by using art, science, or math. Whatever techniques their taught, they can then apply to their daily lives (perspective).
2. This allows different ways to approach problems, then maybe creating new, better ways to improve or approach problems (perspective).
3. This can then conclude to a more open mind of the students, and different opportunities for education to advance (Chen).
