I don't think charter schools were a thing where I went to school. We had public schools and Catholic schools.
In third grade I told the teacher I couldn't hear her after she had read a story. My seat was in the back of the classroom. She told me to pay more attention or something like that. She had me stay in during recess to read it myself. I didn't want to miss recess more than I didn't want to miss whatever story. So I decided that was a one time thing.
There was actually support for kids with special needs of all kinds at my school district. That's a big thing that I feel like I missed out on. Someone has to identify whatever needs to begin with. I guess that part hasn't changed much.
