Hello All, Seems like there is lot of craze among Indian origin parents for charter schools in Austin . I am seeing parents travel far up to 45 mins one way to drop their kids at charter schools instead of utilizing their locally assigned elementary or middle . Some parents are sending their kids to charter schools even when the local elementary school ratings are 9 or 10 . Are the parents afraid of bullying in US schools or does charter schools offer competitive education? . TC 250k
Charter schools have better discipline comparatively. Also, education level is better, have experienced both for my kid and liked charter better. Yes if you are interested in extra curricular activities or sports, public isd is better. It's all about priorities.
End of the day those kids are going to be doctors or engineers regardless, so just an ego boost for parents.
Rich people like doing things that remind them that they’re rich, like charter schools when they aren’t necessary. You get an arguably worse education because these schools don’t have the kind of resources that public schools have, especially good schools in Texas. Plus athletics at charter schools are always trash, if you care about that kind of thing
