Charter schools started due to violence and corruption in other schools. They focus on individual students' needs and different learning styles. They take one year to open and have helped 3.7 million minority and low-income students. Nova Academy at Coachella doesn't have its own gym, so they use Bagduma Park for PE classes. The CEO of Nova emphasizes the importance of understanding students' home lives. The No Kid Left Behind Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation support charter schools. The Kids So Cal Network prioritizes students' needs and character development. The Noken Left Behind Foundation and Schwab Charitable Foundation have donated to charter schools. Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Bill and Melinda Gates supported charter schools. Charter schools provide more options for parents and individualized attention for students. They also offer extracurricular classes and prioritize student well-being. Charter schools have grown and offer unique opportunities for No one really asked how charter schools started or why they started. Charter schools began because of the violence that other public high schools or private high schools had. So everyone thought that it would be better if we would bring charter schools that focused more on how the child was. It also brought everyone's attention to how different students learn, because as students we're all different and we all learn either visually or literally. A reason why charter schools started was again because of the violence that there was and because of how corrupt the teachers were in certain areas or certain schools. Corrupt teachers didn't really pay attention to the students of their classrooms because either they were like, okay, I don't have to do anything because I'm getting paid, which was a really bad mindset. If they didn't teach the students that they had in that classroom, then the students wouldn't have learned anything. And if they moved on to a different grade level, the teacher of their classroom then would have thought that they learned the subject that they did, but in fact they didn't because of the type of teacher they had. Unlike public schools or private schools, it takes one year for charter schools to open. And charter schools help or helped 3.7 million students that were minority students or were low income students. The Coachella campus of Nova had around 200 students annually, while the Santa Ana campus has around 600. Because of the campus size difference, it really differentiates the number of students that go into the schools. Unlike the Santa Ana campus, Nova Academy at Coachella doesn't have its own gymnasium, so we use the Bagduma Park to have our PE classes. It's Bagduma Park. I think that's a really great way to have students have PE in their classrooms since it would feel more natural in a way or it would bring them more like vitamins since they're out in the sun and they could be playing sports without the fear of having to break one of the campus' things. The CEO of Nova is Renee Lancaster, and from her we learned that it's important to think more about the students individually and to just think about how their problems at home are way more important to them than the problems they have at school. The Nova Academy staff understands that they need to prioritize their students because they don't know what might be going on in their lives. And I think that's something that all charter schools or schools in general should take into consideration. One of the foundations that we use to open charter schools was the No Kid Left Behind Foundation or the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The No Kid Left Behind Foundation is one of the largest federal aid programs for elementary, middle, and high school students. It helps around 12.5 million students in public and private schools, especially charter schools. The basic foundations of the program are to have all the students work towards the same high standards, local district schools, and parents know what's best for their students to succeed. And parent involvement is critical to a child's success. In other words, it has put the focus of a child's education on achieving standardized testing or in achieving anything at school. Bill and Melinda Gates created the foundation because they realized that students weren't really trying their best on the standardized testing because of their family issues or because of the jobs that they had. So school really came last in their minds to them. It was also because of the violence that they had to go through school. So Bill and Melinda really prioritized the fact that students need to be, in a way, encouraged to do their testing and to do their studies so that they would succeed later in life. The Clinton Foundation was made to strengthen charter school laws because they weren't really prioritized. It was like a wobbly line that needed to be straightened. It also really focused on how charter schools mattered and how they impacted their students. They also had to grow initiative to the charter school law since it wasn't as strict as it should have been. The Kids So Cal Network helps prioritize the students' needs and it also helps prioritize their character, skills, and habits and their knowledge to help them succeed in college. It is successful because it focused on how well the teachers worked. Not only that, but it also helped out by offering free enrollment to LOJO with local education agencies. This helped parents have flexibility in choosing a school for their student or their kid, which also helped the parent and the teacher prioritize the student's educational being. The impact that Kids So Cal had on charter schools was its way of teaching and their free enrollment. Nowadays, charter schools are impacted by Kids So Cal's expectations of being strict and the selective teacher hiring that helps the students receive the education they need by having good teachers. Some foundations that helped charter schools grow was the Noken Left Behind Foundation, which is also known as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, as I said before, and the Schwab Charitable Foundation, which is an independent public charity with its mission to increase charitable by giving the U.S., by providing smart and simple solutions to donors by their investment advisors. This means that they donated money to charter schools so that they would basically have more success in being a school. The people who helped charter schools become schools were Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Bill and Melinda Gates. They helped by supporting the idea that charter schools would have a great impact on low-income or minority students who have to have a job to help their parents or family. This also helps the parents by having different options and giving their students or kids opportunities to actually have a great education without struggling to find a public or private school for their child to go to, knowing that they would have to pay money and probably not be as successful as charter schools. I believe that charter schools are a really great thing that was created because it helps minority students or low-income students, which most of us here at the Coachella Valley are, focus on our areas of subjects. If we want to focus on our math subjects because we're not that good at it, the teachers at charter schools will actually pay attention to us and be like, hey, I've been noticing that you're struggling and I think you would want my help. The student, of course, would say yes, unless they have bigger priorities other than their school. It also gives our parents more options or opportunities to have flexibility in choosing a school, which makes it easier for them than having to look for a public or private school to pay for their children's education. I'm not saying that you don't have to pay for your child to be in a charter school, but it would also make it, in a way, it makes it easier for the parent to choose a school. An example for that is my situation or the opportunity that I had to be in Nova Academy, which is a charter school. My mom and I didn't really know about the school since in our eyes and in most of the people here at Coachella, it looks like an apartment complex, like a really small apartment complex. But once we heard of it, we were like, this is a really great opportunity. And I didn't really have that much of a say, so my mom, in a way, convinced me to go there or to at least try it out. And I was immediately immediately hooked when I got there, because the way that the teachers prioritized me as a student and the family class that we have, which most charter schools don't have, by the way, it brought me closer to my classmates and to the teachers. And I think that's a really unique thing that Nova has. It also gave me really great opportunities to have extracurricular classes like the college courses, which gives me a better chance to succeed in high school and to the college that I'll go to. So in conclusion, charter schools have grown a lot in the journey of becoming schools that are really open to parents and are really open to the students in general, since they don't have a lot of violence and they give you a lot of options of extracurricular classes. And they also prioritize the students at their campus. So that's why charter schools are really different from public and private schools and in a way are better. I'm not trying to be biased, but I think they're better.
