Reply #31: I think that is despicable.....

I am not sure what state lets schools discriminate against blacks and lets schools only choose whites but if that is what is happening then they need to be sued. Charter schools are bound by all public school regulations in the state in which they reside and if the state allows this kind of prejudice then all officials need to be ousted and the schools need to be shut down - all of them.

If, on the other hand, it is simply that they are on the outskirts of town then people of all color are still able to attend. One nice thing about charters is they are not districted. One charter school, here, teaches kids from SIX counties! The longest commute is over an hour.

I can not speak to how they trick people into going away. The only thing I know is that if a state requires public schools to teach special education kids then the school is REQUIRED to have teachers on staff for those kids whether they attend or not. The charter school I am familiar with has something like 8 special needs teachers on staff. This includes everything from speech therapy, occupational therapy and children who are special education children. Some of these are 'children' who still need someone to even bring them to the bathroom.

But as I have stated in my other posts, I can only talk for schools I am familiar with and not each and every charter. As with any school system, there will be good and bad schools everywhere.
