Florida League of Women Voters Releases Bombshell Charter Study

10. Interesting.

My experience with teachers at my kids' schools has been that generally they've been reasonably happy. After all, it's the profession they chose and most of them really do like teaching. It may help that my kids always attended good, well funded public schools.

Then, for very personal reasons (son being bullied) we moved them to an independent (meaning secular private) school. I have to say that the teachers there were far, far happier than the public school ones, despite making less money. Basically, they knew the administration had their backs, and the majority of parents were highly supportive. It was a real eye-opener.

But I have heard about the charter school teachers having no job security whatsoever, and that's not right.
