He is such a jerk, I hate him. He met w/ another group last minute yesterday, too, I think - I read a report on one of the FB groups. They pretty much got him to say he might have an in person town hall. I'll believe that when I see it, plus if it's filled w/ people like Linda from Pottstown...we're screwed.
That sounds like he has a canned response to the very real issues you brought against charter schools. "Parents love their kids ... It's totes okay to pick schools even if the district is complete crap???"
You did great! He is an asshole and nothing will change that. But if people keep at him with that kind of fierceness, maybe he will eventually wear down. Either that, or enough people will disgusted by him to vote him out of office. A girl can dream.
Megachoo, I would make a public Facebook post outlining what happened and spread it everywhere you can.
I actually did! Haha. I wrote up a description of the interaction and then asked any teachers who are interested to join me in trying to meet with him.
I'm late in responding but wanted to say thank you for taking the time and energy to represent.
Don't play the "I should have said.." game. Sounds like you did awesome and you rattled him...not that it'll change his (stupid) opinion but it's still one step in the right direction.
