[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charter schools are a complicated issue that creates some strange bedfellows with varied motivations and goals. Public education generally is an area where the truth does not fit neatly into any partisan boxes. Sometimes issues get turned into political wedges by people who want to use them to fan the flames of whatever partisan or culture war is afoot but whatever is actually at stake gets left in the dust. See Common Core as a recent example. [/quote]

You have to distinguish between Charter schools as incubators where teachers can work more freely and adaptively versus Charter schools as cash cows for the vultures.[/quote]

..."vultures"?

Lol.

Ok.  Keep selling that rational perspective.[/quote]

I'll stand by it.  Look at the number of people who have been caught self-sealing, even when they were purportedly non-profits.  Google Kent Amos / DC Charter scandal - he's a real peach.  And a lot of places don't have the protections that DC does.[/quote]
