It
is more than obvious charter schools are an agenda to privatize
education and put unions out of business. The unions need to survey the
charter schools to find out how many allow and have unionized teachers.
These are public monies. There is a record number of autistic children
in need of a well funded public school system with safe facilities.
In some states, charter schools are provided special status and given more public monies than public school systems. It is time to call this what it is, a union busting agenda that leaves deserving children and handicapped children without funding to provide the opportunity public schools were intended to provide to every child in the country.
Charter schools are not about children. They are about profits, exorbitant salaried administrations and busting unions.
Any Charter School can have ONE extraordinary grades, such as the 5th grade, in scoring in required tests. But, can and do they achieve the recognition in all grades? No, they don't and they can't. How can they? There administrators are soaking up all the funding that could facilitate these goals. They don't have those resources applied to children. They have them applied to wealth regardless of there non-profit status.

The moment proved to be a turning point, laying the groundwork for a deal reached last weekend that gave New York City charter schools some of the most sweeping protections in the nation, including a right to space inside public buildings. And interviews with state and city officials as well as education leaders make it clear that far from being a mere cheerleader, the governor was a potent force at every turn, seizing on missteps by the mayor, a fellow Democrat, and driving legislation from start to finish.
