non-traditional schools

I found the presentation on non-traditional schools to be a very useful presentation. Since time remaining at UMF is depleting quickly, i've been spending more time lately thinking about where i might want to teach and i really appreciate anything that looks into the nature of schools that are out there. I was especially interested in the part of the presentation that focused on charter schools. As we discussed in class, there seems to be a high portion of our state that is not even aware of what charter schools are due to our states policies which don't allow the charter schools in our state. unfortunetly, I was one of these people until coming to UMF and i'm still learning about charter schools. From what i have seen, i would consider teaching at a charter school. I still want to look more into and figure out things like what the pay looks like for a teacher in charter schools as opposed to a traditional school. Also, i would be interested to see how well charter schools tend to do in terms of longevity. I know that i could never teach at a catholic school or any other religion based school for that matter. I just am personally not a religious person and i don't A. Feel that i would be comfortable in that school environment and B. think students in a school where religion is part of the schools focus should suffer the disservice of having a teacher who is not on page with the rest of the school. I thought the school that katie rose presented on was interesting but i don't quite know if i would want to teach at a school such as that. I feel like i would be willing to give it a try but i'm not sure that i would enjoy the school.
