It must be a regional thing. Where I live we have special academies, within the regular schools (I teach in one of those); we have charter schools, and we even have a district which devotes an entire school site to helping home schoolers. You check in once a week, are given a choice of materials, and can do your own thing. I've home schooled my own children, worked in regular school, worked at the home school support school (as a high school teacher), and worked in an academy. I even considered working at the charter school- and many of our teachers go back and forth, between charter and regular school. I don't see why public school teachers need to be resistant to other permutations of government schooling. I like innovation. I am hostile to giving public money to private schools, because it's such an easy way to essentially force taxpayers to pay for religious indoctrination. I'm not willing to do that. Many people are happy to have indoctrination that runs their way, but when they start seeing little public funded US Maddrassa schools, I think even the nutty right wing anti-public school zealots will see the light of day- but maybe not. Who knows?
