I would sign a petition. and I think this nc ag gag bill needs to be shut down. it is ridiculous. criminals should be exploited and I don't know why government does NOT think this needs to be addressed unless they are just too damn lazy to get justice for law UN-abiding citizens.
I was solicited for a donation to the NRTWC, but was hesitant on what it was doing.
Your biased editorial convinced me to support it. The last straw was the "whistleblower" allegation. No documentation, no confirmed facts, no legal prosecution of this "illegal action", just an anonymous individual spouting rumors and making unproven accusations.
Is that the best you can do?
One just closed in Palm Beach County; if failed in the same neighborhood as the public school that it replaced the public school had failed the standardized tests, so did the charter.) Some charters did better, but not in poor neighborhoods, with the same student body as nearby the pubic schools. Education becomes a commodity, with 2 charter schools opening in the same neighborhood, trying to recruit the same students. It's about money, not quality education. The FL legislature addressed this, and it looks as if in future.there will only be one charter allowed in a neighborhood. Meanwhile, parents are trying opt our of to the standardized (FCAT) test. Some have told their kids to break the seal on the exam, then walk out, refusing to take it, and hop into the car with mom. Six Fl counties voted to op out of the testing. It's a failure, I wouldn't recommend it there.
Generations of kids without educations? What are you basing that on? 90% of Americans attend public schools. We lead the world in advances in science, technology, medicine, and more. Universities in the United States are turning away record numbers of applicants because there are more bright young people pursuing a college educations than ever before. Our schools are not failing, despite what the media and politicians would have you believe.
