The more we speak up... the more they will listen.

Many colleges accept students based on their history/proof of wanting to learn and their desire to learn more. They often judge these factors based on volunteerism to one's community, experience and drive. In my experience, a person would be hard pressed not to get into UH. If not there, then surely the community college, which has many ties to UH with far less requirements. As long as you can pay tuition, they seem to take you as a student. Many colleges are of this same mind. It is intensive paperwork and follow-up usually, but it is available as long as the applicant has no faulty legal record. As for charter schools, I have close friends that are teachers in our public schools here, but I believe that their hands are harshly tied these days. Different options in schooling for our children seems essential, especially in such a diverse community, one style does not fit all! Let your child go where THEY WILL THRIVE!! Different children thrive in different situations. Any way you choose, be involved, be aware... I went through no less than 20 schools growing up... changing is Hell, but Oh so necessary sometimes. Change is not an enemy, staying with what isn't working... IS.
