Texas Took Over Its Largest School District, but Has Let Underperforming Charter Networks Expand
Charter schools are just one of the newest ways conservatives have come up with to control education so only those they believe deserve it get good ones while simultaneously allowing for more religious education in the classroom and a way to reimpose segregation in schooling
It also lets businesses profit off of kids' education money while starving public schools of funding. Here in NY, charter schools take money from the public school fund. However, they are allowed to pick and choose which students they want and there is little to no oversight. So they reject any students with special needs (IEPs, 504 plans, etc) and take only students that they can teach for as little money as possible. Anything extra is profit for the business.
Public schools are left with a greater percentage of special needs students to help, but with less money to do it. Then, the charter schools point to the public schools as failing and push for more charter schools. More charter schools open and the public schools are left with less money. Repeat again and again as public funds are diverted to private businesses.
Don’t forget another way to funnel tax money to their friends!
Im going to need some evidence that this place actually exists.
Yes the extreme far left, well known for their love of Obama
Charter schools, by definition, are conservative. Regardless of what they actually teach.
