| Hi. Let's pretend I'm new here. I love Harry Potter. My other passion is Unity Charter School, a kindergarted through eighth-grade charter public school where the mission is Education for Sustainability. Home The big deals around here are: The New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards (traditional academics), Positive Discipline, Democratic Governance ("DG"), Experiential Learning, Personalized Learning Plans, all integrated in our unique curriculum, which is developed through the eyes of Sustainability. We all use first names, if that's a clue. Most of the kids don't even know their teachers' or the Principal’s last names. I am here because I am a rebel. I am also a mom. My son graduated a couple of years ago and my daughter will graduate this June. I am also a member of the Board of Trustees. Like others before me, I love the place and will stay on after my kids graduate. Even among this group of rebels, I am the rebel. When Democratic Governance neglects to include the kids, or minimalizes their opportunity for input, my voice is the first, the loudest and the longest to complain. Sometimes mine is the only voice. I am not afraid to stand alone. My goal as a Board Member is to push "DG" as far as the law will allow. Actually, for a while, we went beyond what the law allows. We didn't know any better. Our founders wanted to use the Sudbury model. (Sudbury Education Resource Network: Sudbury Model) As it turns out, some of the democratic processes we want are illegal in a public school. Pity.
