Seriously, I'm appreciative that the Florida League conducted this study. It's just a shame that they had to.

must be as clueless as a homeschooler.

Oh, I see what you did there.

parents sent kids to avoid integration. Poor white kids got "scholarships." The Charter system is the exact same thing---and they sell it to minority parents as "It will be better for your kids. Trust us. Would we lie?"

of charter schools has shown exactly that same thing. And this is allowing for the fact that the charter schools do not have to take all comers, so they don't have all the special needs kids, just for starters.

I'd be very curious to know how happy the teachers are at the charters.

My niece was let go from a charter so they could hire a friend of the director. She didn't have a contract or due process.

My experience with teachers at my kids' schools has been that generally they've been reasonably happy. After all, it's the profession they chose and most of them really do like teaching. It may help that my kids always attended good, well funded public schools.

Then, for very personal reasons (son being bullied) we moved them to an independent (meaning secular private) school. I have to say that the teachers there were far, far happier than the public school ones, despite making less money. Basically, they knew the administration had their backs, and the majority of parents were highly supportive. It was a real eye-opener.

But I have heard about the charter school teachers having no job security whatsoever, and that's not right.

republicans don't get embarrassed by such things. In fact, for them, everything is going according to plan.

That's code for "take the money and run".

Therefore corruption is rampant.

Follow the money. That is what Deepthroat admonished Woodward to do. Some things never change.
