Education

said all charters are for-profit, so why do you think you need to keep telling them what they already know?

Once again, the point is not that some charters are all local & funky & cool, the point is that the charter movement as a whole is about destroying public schooling, diverting local, state & federal tax monies to private pockets, busting unions, trading 'education' internationally as a commodity -- WITHOUT IMPROVING EDUCATION AT ALL FOR THE MAJORITY OF CHILDREN.

Who's going to 'address' those issues, do you think, when the top 20% (with the $ & power) don't want to address them? When you yourself won't even acknowlege the point?

Charters increase racial and economic segregation, they don't mitigate it. And that's why they're popular in some quarters. And, sorry to say, but Jeb Bush and Bobby Jindal have the line about "the civil rights issue of our time" down pat -- and it's blatant, disgusting hypocrisy.
