[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because "pulling resources from public schools" means taking money from public school teachers. Typically, 80% of a school budget goes to salaries. So, when you put a kid in a charter school, the public school has less money for salaries. Teachers unions really, really hate that. OTOH, most of the research shows that charter schools that are started and run by public school teachers can often be the most successful.[/quote] and the same research also shows that charters greatly underperform the public [/quote] The best charters are better than the worst publics by a country mile [/quote] And the worst charters are garbage [/quote] Name some of these great charters. At least I know I can deal with a public school that doesn't provide the accommodations my kid's iep provides. [/quote]
