Pa. state senator resigns amid child porn accusations

Their view: Democracy requires discomfort

<p>Parents deserve a choice as to where their child receives a public school education.</p><p>As a parent, I feel charter schools provide better environments for learning due to things such as more personalized attention. Charter schools are also better able to adapt to meet the individual needs of students.</p><p>When my son completed eighth grade and transitioned to high school, he was complimented on his math skills by his new teacher, as he was much further along in the math skills compared to other students.</p><p>I believe the charter school&#8217;s curriculum is more rigorous than our local traditional public schools. As a taxpayer, I feel the charter school provides greater value for the taxes we pay for education. It is concerning to hear Gov. Tom Wolf and other elected officials make statements that are demeaning of charter schools and mislead the public.</p><p><strong>Billie Jo Mondulick</strong></p><p>Bear Creek</p><style>
