Reply #91: um -- because it's a privatization of education? because the largest study

[Hannah Bell]

of charter schools showed 17% performed better, 37% performed worse, & the rest were at par?

because the privatization experiment in chicago actually proved *worse* for the poor & minorities?

hard to explain why these caring billionaires don't put the $200 million into the public system, since it's 4444% of the detroit system's entire budget.

oh, wait, it's not. they want to *own* the system. & once they've got it & the demo period is over, you can bet they won't be spending 200 million.

& i'll bet large chunks of that 200 mil will be siphoned off for outside 'consultants,' materials prep corps, etc.
