I received this from another homeschooling parent and one of her comments was basically it is ridiculous for these schools to be saying 'I am ready for a fight' that they should be saying 'great more schools for our kids'. And quite frankly it is ridiculous and it concerns me that any school could be thinking they have the exclusive right to teach kids. Of course the bottom line is that it is all about money one person says they came up with an idea so the other school does not get money...and since they are the 'mayor's' school they should get it. I have had friends visit this particular AIMS charter school and come away with a very different view than the school promotes. As always things sometimes are not what they seem at the surface so make sure you research your educational options and try to find all the information you can on your particular choice so that you can make the best decision for your family.

City Councilor Don Harris and Mayor Martin Chavez want to inspire southeast Albuquerque middle school students and tap into local scientists' expertise.
They both say a charter school is the way to do it.
Chavez and Harris don't find themselves in agreement all that often. And while their objectives are similar, their two proposals might well compete for the same students.
On the one hand, the city has $100,000 set aside in the 2007-08 budget to study a technology middle school, an idea Harris claims as his own.
