“Next Fall a teacher from Leaguetown High School will be participating in the Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program. Charla Klein will be spending the fall semester teaching in Scotland while Lorraine Schouler will take her place.
While some parents are excited for Ms.Klein, others are worried about their kids not being able to be prepared for the TAKS test.
“We are happy for Ms.Klein, but some parents, like myself, are questioning whether a teacher from a foreign country can prepare our students for the TAKS test,” Oscar Ramirez said.
This will be a very great opportunity for her.
“The math department will work with Mr.Dubes and Ms.Klein to ensure that she has all of the support that she needs,” Janelle Vander said. “We certainly will miss Ms.Klein, but this is an exciting opportunity for her.”
Charla is so excited to experience teaching in another country. She cant wait to tell all the kids about Texas culture either.
“It’s going to be exciting and interesting to see the differences between a national curriculum and what we have as a state,” Charla Klein said. “I hope that i can share some of my Texan culture with my students and the school.”
Some students who struggle in math hope to get through this.
“I am a little anxious about Ms.Klein leaving,” Freshman Melissa Staff said. “I’ve always struggled with math, but Ms.Klein explains things in a way i can understand.”
Being selected into this program is very exciting and a big accomplishment.
“We are proud of Mrs.Klein’s accomplishment,” Principal Dubes said. “Being selected into this prestigious program is quite an honor.
