Charter schools and vouchers were never intended to improve public
education. Destroying it was always the goal and was accomplished at
many levels simultaneously. Corporate media played its part with its
coverage of "education reform" Like with health care reform, it burned
out its consumers with distractions while keeping the real issues top
secret.
Privatizing and commodifying all public assets, busting unions, and
turning teachers into low wage technicians was always the goal sold to
the bewildered and valueless middle class. But like with health care,
the quiet goal was transferring public assets to the criminal parasite
class so that 50% of all resources go directly in cronies pockets.
The American middle class has accepted the ideology that parasites are
the "invisible hand of the market" or God. Public assets like
education, libraries, and parks make freeloading commoners lazy and
evil, and thus they must be turned into commodities unavailable to the
lazy devils.
Read the pages of comments after the report I posted to see how the
indoctrination of these concepts helped foment hatred and racism among
the ignorant. Julian Assange and I are no longer the lowest, most evil,
forms of life on earth. Teachers are! And unions are terrorists who
emerged straight out of hell.

What about the current embrolgio with SRC Chair Robert Archie, Associate
Superintendent Leroy Nunnery, State Rep. Dwight Evans about the $50
million dollar deal to turn MLK High School into a charter that fell
through? SRC Chair Robert Archie had to recuse himself from the vote
because his law firm was representing Foundations, Inc. which as a parent
company to Mosaic in Atlanta, GA who backed out of the deal? A five-year
deal for $50 million dollars! Superintendent Ackerman knew nothing about
this until after SRC Chairman informed her.
I remember when she first arrived and declared, "Adults MUST be held
accountable."
What about the New Media Charter which was supposed to teach children
state of the art technology, web design, digital video etc. that had
hardly a computer ad over $500,000 is unaccounted for?
SRC Chair Robert Archie's wife was chair of that Charter School Board
until the end of 2009.
The top of the cap is Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, who got the State
Standardized Test Scores this week.
His charter/voucher school did a lot worse than WI public schools, so he
is going to expand his Carter/Voucher schools plan, with the caveat they
be exempt from Standardized State Testing. Only WI public schools will be
obligated to take the tests, even though Charters/Vouchers are subsidized
with US taxpayers money.
They need to declare this school reform corporate/business thing is not
working. In PA alone from 1996-2007 the research data show Charter school
did not out perform Philadelphia Public Schools. Nationwide only 17% of
Charters since 1994 have out done public school districts even though we
share our budget with them, have less money and resources, take students
they "counsel out" and do not get the private and corporate contributions
Charters receive.
Consider this.
