Closure to Superman . . .

I wanted to share the Seattle Times article that has some quotes form Allison, one of her students, and a Central student that attended with us.  The author does a nice job in this article of being more objective than most that I have read.  He isn't pro-charter or anti-union.  He places the focus on kids and the need for adults to maintain this focus and to learn form the successes of others.

Schools that do well — charter or not — prove that disadvantaged children can soar. They offer blueprints for success that need to be embraced by other schools. Some are private, some public; some have lots of money, others don't. Above all else, the best believe in doing whatever it takes to help children be successful.

I will end this series on Waiting for Superman with these words from one of our students.

Senior Garret Gileno wondered, "Why doesn't anybody ask the kids? Why isn't the emphasis on the kids?"
