[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people are naive to think that the federal government could not cram charters down the throats of localities. If they tied charter acceptance to ability to receive Title I funds, the states would have to cave. No one can really go without Title I funds. Of course it runs contrary to the republican mantra of states' rights and local control, but that didn't stop them from forcing standardized testing down everyone's throats through NCLB.[/quote] They could reform the way Title 1 money is allocated, and use it to punish wealthy school districts that have to rely on Title 1 schools because of socioeconomic segregation within the wealthy districts. The wealthy school districts would face a choice between allowing the poor schools to become even poorer, without their Title 1 funds, or they would have to take steps to integrate to lessen the inequality. Then they could send the Title 1 money to schools in rural areas that are more uniformly poor and where student outcomes are much worse than even the poorest students in wealthy districts. Win-win. Integration in segregated areas, and money more wisely spent where it is most needed. Make America Smart Again. But they're not going to do the thing that would help any poor students, urban or rural. They're going to enrich their already wealthy cronies. [/quote]
