Abstract: At the Charter School Student Summit held in St. Paul, Minnesota in December 2004, students discussed their charter school experiences in small groups. This document summarizes their discussions. Students said they were attracted to charter schools because of the small communities and additional attention provided. They liked that they were more likely to be able to work independently and at their own pace. They said their teachers care about them and motivated them to work harder. Relationships with both teachers and other students were significantly better than those at their previous schools.
