It is no secret that I think charter schools are a colossal con job at best. To me they are only a way to maximize corporate profits at the sake of our children……both repubs and dems are doing all they can to make public schools a thing of the past and leave the education of our children in the hands of money hungry capitalists……it is not a solution but a growing problem that will take decades to rectify….that is if we as a country finally come to our collective senses…..
Charter Schools Gone Wild: Study Finds Widespread Fraud, Mismanagement And Waste | Crooks and Liars.
I don’t think it’s so much a question of capitalism as it is of ideological warfare. I think the Right presses for destruction of the common Public Education because the privatization as in charter schools can allow for “selection” of which students are accepted . . . and I am sure any students who show any sign of any kind of Liberal thinking or upbringing would find it very difficult if not impossible to get into one of the Right’s privatized charters . . . ( Or if they manage to get in then the task would be to be able to remain. ). I think The Reicht desperately wants their own specialized cadre of highly-trained and dog-loyal ideologues with which to build the purity of their Right Wing vision for America.
