Let the Competition Begin
On more than one occasion I’ve had the following conversation.
Big Fan: So what do you do? Me: I’m the IT Director for a non-profit charter management organization (CMO). BF: What’s a CMO? Me: We’re a non-profit organization that helps lead and manage charter schools. BF: Oh, I’m not sure how I feel about you guys. Me: What do you mean? BF: Well, charter schools take my tax money and do the minimum with it in order to keep as much of that money as possible. You’re not as responsible for the growth of your kids and you don’t have any proof that your model works any better than the local school districts. Me: Well, actually I have some information here on this digital publication that I can share that shows our growth, our story and from that you can see how we’re using tax dollars. BF: I’m really not interested in that. You can put your iPad away.
