Now We Know Our ABCs. And Charter Schools Get an F.

[HiPointDem]

99. You said, & I quote: Some of them that are taking some very specific and original ways of doing

things..."

to which i replied, there's *nothing* charters do that is very specific or original.

to which you said: "what about language immersions charters?"

upon which i pointed you to the history of language immersion programs in the public schools & an elementary program in a district very near me.

which you completely ignore while returning to your "some charters are nice, good, non-profit, why can't you understand"? spiel.

got another 'innovation'?

i understand very well that some charters are nice, good, & truly nonprofit, not wanting to destroy public ed just wanting their own little school.

to me that fact pales in the face of the bigger picture, which is that those 'nice' little charters were just the opening wedge in an all-out assault on public education.

and when it comes down to brass tacks, those 'nice' little independent charters & their supporters stand with the larger charter movement against public schools.

I repeat: Charter schools have no 'innovations'. They have a lot of money & a lot of windy talk.
