Let me tell you how stupid these parent are. I was talking to a parent about my eldest son being on private school and the chick responded saying "well my son attends a charter school!" As if saying that put it on par with my sons. I felt bad for her.
What's kinda wild about reading this is that I've had people ask me how come the non-profit I work with hasn't opened a charter school in D.C. While trying to keep a straight face, I normally just say that it may be an option down the line or some bullshyt, but I know damn well that even with the influence/connections we've garnered over the years in the city, a charter school run in part by the same cats that run the non-profit would be a cauldron of fukkery at the highest levels. It's almost an impossible task for 17 of us - grown-ass, college-educated men - to run a Saturday school program for one classroom full of middle-school age kids, let alone two schools with a total enrollment of 600 kids.
The second year we ran the program, we got a promise from the assistant principal at a middle school in the District to oversee our program to ensure that we not only had a facility, but also more than enough teachers and a proper curriculum. This nikka showed up the first week, dapped everybody up, gave me the keys to the library, gym and cafeteria and never came back. Thinking back on it, I have to laugh, but the thought of even that nikka running a school frightens me.

I want to argue against something showing that charters are a public benefit but you've yet to produce anything
It provides the benefit of having an option. Qualifying the school is something entirely different. It wouldnt take someone too long to qualify prime time U being a joke.

Why are you acting like this is a fact?

This is one thing I don't agree with. I don't believe that throwing tons of money at lower scoring schools (aka schools in urban areas and rural areas) is the key. The "rich" areas contain people who usually have higher levels of education thus the parents in those areas tend to place a greater focus on education.
The areas that struggle tend to have households where education is not a priority and of utmost importance. And I know it's not everyone. I look at africans, afro caribbeans, even asians in these same urban and rural areas that have kids who excel academically. And you know it's because of the priority that education has in those households.
I just don't buy the fact that more money equals greater schools. However, I don't think that "great" teachers in the more affluent areas are better either. They just have students who have a higher educational reinforcement back home so they don't have to "teach" nearly as hard.

You made it about choice...i said the choices SUCK and you say "sucking doesn't count. "
if the choices suck how would you reform schools in failing districts? less choice?

I need a demonstration of when more money was ever "thrown" at public schools that matched the richer districts.
Can you provide me with this evidence?
