[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charter schools are private companies that run public schools.[/quote]

DP - wow PP, nice overgeneralization which = misrepresentation.  But since you're claiming they're private companies, please, do us the honor of naming the private companies that are behind: Yu Ying, LAMB, Stokes, 2 Rivers, CMI, Mundo Verde, Haynes and Capital City.  What are the names of the private corporations or companies that own them/run them?

I know Kipp and a few others are part of much larger models, but since you're trying to paint everyone with one giant (ignorant) brushstroke, name the private companies/corporations behind the schools listed above?

I won't hold my breath...[/quote]

They're all run by 501(c)(3)s... so not publicly run.  No one is saying they are they are evil money grubbing capitalists (well a couple of them are), but they aren't publicly owned or operated any more than a church is.[/quote]

You apparently didn't read up thread.  Someone is saying exactly that they are private companies running public schools.  Maybe you can point to how you define "publicly run" because they do NOT operate as private companies in terms of oversight.  Charters have much more autonomy than DCPS schools, but that greater autonomy does not change the fact that they are public schools and overseen/answerable to a public charter school board.

Give your definition of "publicly run", and then we can move on from there to see what you're saying is the difference between "not publicly run" and "private".[/quote]
