Tonight we only have one question. As we celebrate our communities, what is your school community proudest of? #RuralEdChat

KellyLatterman Jun 13 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Started #SchoolChoice convo w @robinhosemann. Would like more input from #ruraledchat. Does choice play a role in your rural community, how?

KellyLatterman Jun 13 @ 8:36 PM EDT

Specifically do schools work in tandem providing various opportunities based on student needs? Or compete for $ and students? #ruraledchat

KellyLatterman Jun 13 @ 8:37 PM EDT

#Ruraledchat perspective, what value does #Schoolchoice bring to your community? Please provide example. Thanks all for input. #edchat

There is only 1 k-12 school in town. In 9th grade & up, some opt to go to boarding schools (a flight away) for new experiences #ruraledchat

In reply to @KellyLatterman

kmichellehowell Jun 13 @ 8:40 PM EDT

Although I teach in an urban school, we are proud of our student achievement. We have lots to work on otherwise to build pride. #RuralEdChat

LindaAragoni Jun 13 @ 8:40 PM EDT

School community's pride is in students who leave the community upon graduation. #ruraledchat

Are the flights provided by the school system or by families? #RuralEdChat

In reply to @spiraledu, @KellyLatterman

kmichellehowell Jun 13 @ 8:43 PM EDT

That, at least to me, seems bittersweet. Do any of them return? #RuralEdChat

Very few in last 20 years. Big problem, esp. since we're not preparing those who remain to work here. #ruraledchat

Thanks for the reply. Just trying to understand. I come from a small town in TN & couldn't get a job as a teacher there. #RuralEdChat

Where do you teach? #RuralEdChat

In reply to @spiraledu, @KellyLatterman

LindaAragoni Jun 13 @ 8:50 PM EDT

Teachers are most likely college-goers to get jobs here because of vacancies created by retirements. #ruraledchat

I was teaching in Fort Yukon, Alaska (8 miles above the Arctic circle) but just moved to Juneau #ruraledchat
