Finally, rich, well educated parents have decided that government schools fail their children. They want out. Instead of sending their children to private schools, or home schooling, they want to take back the schools, including the buildings.
"Their worries have persisted even as San Diego Unified pledges to give communities like Point Loma more control over school budgets and reforms. Point Loma is often seen as a shining example of that community control, a humming network of parents, teachers and principals that prodded to bring more Mandarin into its schools and just got a city crosswalk in front of Correia Middle.
A small but devoted group of parents argues they still have too little sway over their schools. While most love their schools, they are less enamored with the rules and red tape that come with the district.
The group has floated a bevy of ideas, from eking out greater freedom inside the school district to converting all their local schools into charters. Though parents haven't settled on a plan, they've started talking with parent organizers and scheduled an upcoming forum called "Are Charters a Better Way?"
King George is being killed once again!
