Chartering a Course for Disaster 0
Attempts to destroy public education continue apace in Florida. John Romano reports:
At the same time, charters are also failing rapidly. Florida had the second-most school closings in the nation last year. In Pinellas and Hillsborough counties alone, nearly 30 charters have opened and closed in recent years.
Charter growth is clearly not a problem.
Charter accountability, on the other hand, might be.
So do you:
A) Say it’s time to monitor charter applications more closely?
B) Say the plan is working and continue on the same path?
C) Say “Yippee!” and make it even easier to open charters?
If you chose C, you just might be a state legislator.
This is a logical consequence of a societal decision made some 30 years ago, coincident with the deification of MBAs, that there is no such thing as the public good, that accumulation of wealth is the only standard for judging any effort.
