My students live in North Philadelphia. They are besieged by astronomical budget woes. It now seems clear that our charter high school's first round of freshmen will graduate before the public school district can get back in the black. You see, we started the charter last year. We came on strong to provide a school with positive school culture and we were successful. We met a debris filled school in August and changed our literacy rating by June. Our classrooms were bright, happy and quiet. We stopped the fights in the hallways on day one and got the kids into class and learning. We were tasked with turning around a failing school and we made significant inroads. Now it's crunch time. My students need to be competitive and that means streamlining the instruction and opening up the class to discovery and practice. To begin this journey my students need a projector. They show up everyday in a dress shirt, neck tie, slacks and black shoes and deserve an equally professional presentation.
