Main Street Schoolhouse

One thing that is very clear about Main Street Schoolhouse is that Ms Karen (I believe I heard her referred to that way) is an incredibly kind-hearted and passionate woman.  Her dedication to her cause - and the obvious love and respect that her employee demonstrated for her - are admirable.  I am sure the lives of the students she works with are forever changed by her influence.  I also think it is wonderful that she is providing a means for adults to come back and earn a full diploma instead of a GED.  I am confused by the various distinctions of private schools - as I know the private, religious schools in my area still give (and I believe are required to do so) the OAAs and OGTs.  I also wonder how her non-Spanish speaking students feel about not having bilingual resources available to them - it could be an interesting project to undertake for someone who is capable of doing so. Like Su Casa, Main Street Schoolhouse has a homey, community-based feel to it that most likely gives students the personal attention and emotional support they need to succeed.
