damn shame that the reason charter schools are able to "succeed" is the lack of a political tug of war over the curriculum and approach to teaching

I grew up in an impoverished area of Los Angeles and have worked as a TA in public schools throughout LA. I can tell you that charter schools have been one of the best things to happen to our education system here. It isnt just about kicking out bad kids, it is also about firing bad teachers and hiring good ones. The LAUSD district was caught shuffling bad teachers to poor neighborhoods so they could keep tenured teachers working even though they were caught doing a bad job. In one case we had a teacher blind folding kids and feeding them cookies with his semen on it. This same teacher was under investigation from another school and sent to a poor area of Los Angeles to keep screwing up the kids. A stupid move if Hillary supports this, which she probably will because of the unions and all the campaign contributions (bribes) she has taken.

THIS.

It's almost impossible to find a public school that is doing a good job for Black and Brown kids in the inner city. Hardly anyone wants to teach there, when a teacher is bad it's impossible to fire them, and the administration generally sucks.




All charter schools are not created equal.

Yes.

But the difference between bad charter schools and bad public schools is that it is WAY easier for a bad charter school to get shut down, and it is WAY easier to replicate a good charter school.


If a charter school isn't making it's objectives, the state is supposed to stop funding it. With public schools, 99.99% of the time they just fail every year and nothing happens.

And if a charter school is doing well, you just have the same organization build more of them. When a public school is doing well...usually the principle just gets the credit, gets shuffled over to some other failing school, and if he was the reason the original school was doing well, it tends to go downhill have he leaves.
