Ned, why do we NEED a Charter High School? NEED and WANT are two different things. We don't NEED a charter high school, a few people WANT a charter high school because they are afraid of the diversity at Lely. All a charter high will do is shelter some kids that have parents that have sheltered them their whole lives. High school is a life experience, not a shelter.

I really don't know where all of you get this opinion that that those of us that state we need, or want, or whatever a Charter High School are afraid of diversity, and I never mentioned Lely at all. Those of you that oppose the need for a Charter High School always think we are attacking Lely.
I don't see any of the kids at Marco Island Charter Middle School being sheltered and there seems to be children of all races there if that's what you're referring to as diversity.
Also, there are children that go to the Charter Middle School from all over Collier County. Why do you think parents are bringing their children all the way to Marco? Because they're afraid of diversity? Come On ! Lose that poor excuse.
We want and need good education for our children and beleive this school can give it to our children.
Also, the excuse of a Charter not having extra curricular activity, another B.S. excuse. drop it already.
Marco Charter has a good sports program, what makes you think a Charter High School would not?
