Charter schools are not the answer people are making them out to be.
exactly! all charter school is is sticking an uncomfortable fugly uniform on a kid. it’s like pretend private school. minus the academics and self discipline.
some charter programs are consistently
coming up with better results than
public schools in the same demographics,
and even compared with statewide results.
They need to reproduce that and bottle it.
Legion,
Some public schools are consistently coming up with be4tter results than charter schools in the same demographics, and even compared with statewide results.
The Dept. of Education does NOTHING to reproduce and bottle it.
Legion, they’ve tried to reproduce the sucessful charters, but they can’t. Even KIPP has some schools that aren’t doing great and KIPP is one of the more successful organizations at running charter schools.
i.e. feminism, NOW members, haters of Sarah Palin (I have seen you use these terms interchangeably).
You can think that Sarah Palin is the worst of American anti-intellectual jingoists. And hate her act. And not be a member of NOW. And don’t know in what sense you mean feminist, but term is a very imprecise Rorshach blob for a lot of things.
I can’t stand Sarah Palin for the above reasons. Do I have to be a member of NOW for that? (I OPPOSE NOW as strongly as I do Sarah Palin!!!)
There is one charter in DC that spends $40K per student. It’s doing great, but it does not cost THAT much to provide a child with a great education.

Legion, I just read your link about the meeting between Chavez and Ahmadinejab saying they want to “eliminate Western dominance over global affairs.”

“some charter programs are consistently

lemme guess – the ones that have a corporate sponsor or Andre Agassi and require a certain amount of parental involvement hours.
Etson,
Not yesterday. I looked!
Well, I am doing a cut and run. Got to get out of here for an appointment.
Later, losers. Have a good night!
Legion,
Just a couple of comments —
Sometimes you conflate a lot of things.
i.e. feminism, NOW members, haters of Sarah Palin (I have seen you use these terms interchangeably).
You can think that Sarah Palin is the worst of American anti-intellectual jingoists. And hate her act. And not be a member of NOW. And don’t know in what sense you mean feminist, but term is a very imprecise Rorshach blob for a lot of things.
