Most people know that I am not a fan of Charter schools….to me it sounds like education by lottery. I also think it is moronic to make education a source for profit.
But these schools are the darling of the media….almost all of them do series on the attributes of them…….few approach it as an eduction issue……instead they go on and on about their success rates and such……most of it is pure propaganda…….
These charter schools may be doing more damage than just to education…….
Charter Schools Threaten a Cornerstone of American Democracy – US News.
There are a lot of charter schools in the area where I live that are being investigated for mis-management of their funds and for the cracks in the quality of their education and for some alleged selecting of students that have allegedly gone on.
I have never thought they were a good idea and have been beating them up as often as I can….
Many of them are nothing more than right wing-owned and controlled religious madrasses disguised as education.
Exactly……and as soon as they are totally exposed the better….
