A virtual charter school tale


15 Months in Virtual Charter Hell: A Teacher's Tale

Guest post by Darcy Bedortha. 

In late August, 2012, I took a job in a school that is part of the largest virtual charter school chain in the nation. While I had misgivings about the nature of the school, I thought perhaps if I were diligent, I could serve my students well. In November 2013 I decided I could no longer continue as a teacher. This is my story.
