Re: LOGO-L> charter schools

[mmaveal@foxberry.net]

In Cleveland $5.25 million in voucher money was given out to allow 1,994 
students to attend charter schools. Only 664 of them were former public school 
students. Where did the other 1,330 students come from? What about the 40,000 
poor inner-city students who didn't get the voucher? My fear is that charter 
schools and vouchers are just another way to siphon tax dollars into private 
hands. We would better serve kids by fixing what's wrong with public education.

 Here !! Here !!

There is also really nothing "charter" about charter schools. What they are
trying seems to me to be stuff that has been around for a long time.
Quality Schools initiatives have been around since the time of Dewey. It
alos appears that the charter part may have more to do with mangement of
the staff than educating the students. Administrators are less tied into
district or union power structures which can be either good or bad.
All schools should be quality, all schools must be charter in the BEST
sense of the word.
