Charter schools will now allow competition for state money, which increases the chance your kid gets a good education.

    and they operate outside the normal teachers unions (GA doesnt allow unions so doesnt really apply to us).

    Teachers are unionized in GA, they just dont have collective bargaining.

    No they are not, and in most counties it is reason for them to not put you under contract for the next year. Know before you speak.

    Legalizing pot does two things; first is shuts up the annoying as he'll legalize crowd, and second it provides a pretty significant income for taxes.
    Try not. Do or Do not.

    Again, Georgia's teachers are unionized, but without collective bargaining. Just because it isnt technically called a union, doesnt mean it isnt one.

    NEA - Georgia

    There is the info for the state office of the NEA in Tucker. The NEA is a Union even though they dont bargain.
