Most state constitutions require educating the kiddos and doesn't dictate how. Metrics and outcomes clearly show that kiddos are educated better in charter schools. And it's not even close. Are you most interested in better outcomes or not? Shh. only the rich should be able to choose to send their kids to performing schools. In this state we flood underperforming schools with more grants and funding. but doesn't equate to results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People in poverty, the middle class, and the wealthy "think" differently. Most school curriculums are designed by teachers and administrators with a middle class mindset. If you're from a poor family where survival is day to day, education and the future are not priorities. I think education is actually a priority to poor families. Their needs are different, presenting different challenges. One example...transportation needs are different. Poor families struggle getting their kiddos to/from school and/or other educational opportunities. If the parents are working or don't have access to another vehicle, many opportunities are limited. Address the transportation challenges and those kiddos (and their parents) would love to participate. 3 minutes ago, Chris farley said: up here the ones already in control fight the charters at every turn.

Those in the public school system are selfishly protecting their interests, not what's best for the kiddos. They are protecting their salaries, their lavish facilities and infrastructures, etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think poor school district public schools perform as rich districts? C'mon wake up and smell the reality. What we're watching unfold is a class war. History apparently was not taught well to some. Dude….I live in California and know WAY MORE about public education than you’d ever hope to. All schools are funded at the same base level per student with additional funding going to those in LESSER socio economic areas. Just now, JaCrispy said: Why can’t public schools perform like charter schools, if they are both public? Okay… a little help here for everyone. Charter Schools are public schools. They are granted a “charter” to run independently of the local school district. They therefore have less central administration costs and tend to attract both students and teachers that are likewise inclined. They can also expel students for a variety of reasons thus sending them back to the local district public school. Make sense? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I’d also like to add that in California, and possibly elsewhere, charter schools are at a facility DISadvantage. They cannot pass a construction bond as they don’t generally have control of their property tax base. So they often are housed in woefully inadequate modular buildings or even church basements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ferguson forever Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 @SoCal Deek. Then there's this from the census bureau giving the School Districts within a state spending the most.
