RE: Charter Fools

in #sociology6 years ago

There is lots of evidence that charter schools work as well. Ive read stories where they have waiting lists miles long for people to get in. Competition and greed is a good thing. Just look at all the foreigners that come to colleges here in the us. Must be doing something right.

Also, public schools are going to hell faster than charter. My neice and nephew get e learning days where they get the day off to teach themselves the lessons online.

If thats not a crock I dont know what is.

When compared to the School Performance Profile, the average score for “traditional public schools was 77.1, but for charter schools, it was 66.4, and cyber-charter schools came in at a low 46.8” (Are Charter Schools the Answer?). The purpose of these schools is to simply be the top academic schools. From this point of view, charter schools are not only lower than the standard score of 70, but they are doing worse than public schools.

Found some ugly numbers out there, and a well written article about this here.
