Correct...sponsored by Michigan State University. I know...because I had many private meetings there with the Charter School Educational Office.

The charter school I taught at was set up by a church minister who established a corporation to do so. His prime concern was to take care of his family financially. His mother was hired to run the day care in our school, his brother was the head of custodianship, his sister was the principal. It was a family business to say the least and they all drove Lincoln Continentals and lived in beautiful homes...far above the standard of living for most school teachers.

Yet our children had no textbooks, pencils, paper, etc. We teachers were expected to meet state curriculum objectives using whatever means we could come up with and out of our own pocketbooks.

You would think I could put this behind me but I can't. I continue to get updates on Michigan Charter Schools and the one I taught at is still in business. What smart people those crooks are.
