[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most damning thing about charters is that they have a built-in advantage. The families who apply for the lottery are more engaged and concerned about educational quality. The results should be better based on that fact alone, but the numbers don't show it. [/quote] Yeah. So if they perform on par with a low-rated public next door...that actually suggests they are providing a worse experience. I think there is room for Charters to provide alternative approaches to education, but as with all things in the US the capitalist nose for smelling out an opportunity to make money drowns good intention. There is a non-profit charter near me that offers Montessori education through HS. I'm very interested in it for my kids...but it's run as a stand-alone non-profit with heavy community involvement.[/quote] Which is not what Betsy DeVos wants. Because no $$$ for her cronies.
