expectations

When i first went to community academy charter school I had high expectations for the school. I had heard that charter schools created there own curriculum to try and teach there students in a different way. But none of the teachers that i have encountered seem to use any new teaching skills. When the school was originally stated it was supposed to be bilingual with lessons being taught in both English and Spanish. The idea was full Emerson into another language at a young age. However, none of this exists any more. The school still has a Spanish class that all the students take part in, but all the lessons in the classroom are done in English. I truly expected to find teachers at this charter school teaching there students in new and interesting ways, but all i have found is activities that i remember doing when i was in the first grade. It seems to me when it comes to curriculum there is not much difference between charter schools and public schools.
