If you consider that Charter schools are still in the "experimental"
phase during which they are given incredible advantages (creaming), the
lies about the goals of privatization should be clear after reviewing
this report. Charters were never intended to improve education.
Because of teacher unions, the public schools are holding on despite the
incredible sabotage they suffer. Most professions dealing with real
people have been stripped of the benefit of policy shaping coming from
the bottom up instead of top down.
When teacher unions and public schools have been destroyed, the full
effect of class based education systems will be clear.
