It stings for one of the most popular sitcoms to portray the work of charter schools in a way that doesn’t reflect who we are or what we do.
I am reluctantly entering the public conversation about three things I’m very fond of: charter schools, TV sitcom “Abbott Elementary” and the show’s star, Quinta Brunson.
Over the course of the latest season, charter schools have been mentioned several times. Often, the show’s mischaracterizations of these unique public schools have made me raise an eyebrow because people might learn about charters only by watching “Abbott.” But in fairness, there also have been a lot of mischaracterizations about traditional public schools.
