Ok, so charter schools are public schools in that they are funded by tax dollars. But the money follows the student as it should be. Teachers do not have to pay union dues or be in union it seems.
It is bring choice and free market benefits to education of our children, and the competition is bringing up everyone's game.
Charters are cheaper per pupil (receive less TAX MONEY) and outperform public schools in their area.
THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE TO HAVE THE RESULTS PROMISED OR THEY CAN BE CLOSED.
They are not subject to as many regulations as regular public schools.
Minority and low income students benefit disproportionately more.
They also tend to have a more involved community and parents are more involved.
Now, all this said, why are the Democrats against them while the Republicans are for them?
1) Teachers unions--- these are money making machines and they have a first in and last out policy---meaning better teachers that are young will be fired before old teachers who suck ass. This lets these old bitches do a shitty job and keep it. Not a care about the kids.
Unions lobby the democrats.
2) Racism --- minorities do better in charter schools fact. While you see the rich white liberal hating school choice, you best believe they will pitch a fit if THEIR children's public school wants to rezone in a way to make it browner.
Also, since these schools help minority students succeed and have better collage finishing rates, this would empower these minority and low income students with education---a real one---that they can parlay into being a successful adult and bringing up their community.
If these democrat "owned" voting groups become successful, they will be better able to take care of themselves and not need the nanny state----which would fuck the democrats
3) propaganda --- since the dems and teachers unions are in bed with each other, the dems can use the public schools to push their agenda to children in typical marxist fashion. From sending children in 1st grade to the office fo trans shit to walking out because a republican got elected, the dems know that properly shouted, echoed, and unchallenged lies are better than truth for the democratic party. The teachers unions keep getting money from us.
Dems- don't give a fuck about minorities, about america, about you. Only about an all encompassing government looking more and more like marxist bags of doo doo.
MY OPINION: The Dems are doing it because of all 3: Racism, corruption,
BELOW ARE VIDEOS AND INFO DUMP IF YOU CARE
What is the difference between charter schools and other public schools?
Charter schools are public schools of choice, meaning that families choose them for their children. They operate with freedom from some of the regulations that are imposed upon district schools. Charter schools are accountable for academic results and for upholding the promises made in their charters. They must demonstrate performance in the areas of academic achievement, financial management, and organizational stability. If a charter school does not meet performance goals, it may be closed.
Additionally, charter schools have been more successful at closing racial achievement gaps than district schools have been. A meta analysis of four different studies showed that Black students in charter schools scored 4.5 percentage points better than their district peers in English and 2.6 percentage points better in math. Through a series of education reforms that return power to parents, including charter schools, Florida’s Hispanic students now outscore the assessment averages for all races in 28 states, and their Black students outscore the average in 8 states.
Charter schools often produce stunning results for their generally low-income and minority students. This year, charter schools dominated U.S. News and World Report’s top high schools rankings, claiming six of the top 10 spots. Of the top 100 schools nationwide, 34 were charter schools.
Statistics for charter schools as a whole are hard to come by, but the best estimate puts charters’ college persistence rates at around 23%. To be fair, the rate overall for low-income students – the kind of students typically served by charters – is even worse: just 9%. For low-income, high-minority urban public schools, most comparable to charters, the rate is 15%.
Only 39 percent of all students in New York state schools who were tested recently scored at the “proficient” level in math, but 100 percent of the students at the Crown Heights Success Academy school scored at that level in math. Blacks and Hispanics are 90 percent of the students in the Crown Heights Success Academy. The Success Academy schools in general ranked in the top 2 percent in English and in the top 1 percent in math. Hispanic students in these schools reached the “proficient” level in math nearly twice as often as Hispanic students in the regular public schools. Black students in these Success Academy schools reached the “proficient” level more than twice as often as black students in the regular public schools. What makes this all the more amazing is that these charter schools are typically located in the same ghettos or barrios where other blacks or Hispanics are failing miserably on the same tests. More than that, successful charter schools are often physically housed in the very same buildings as the unsuccessful public schools. In other words, minority kids from the same neighborhood, going to school in classes across the hall from each other, or on different floors, are scoring far above average and far below average on the same tests. If black success were considered half as newsworthy as black failures, such facts would be headline news — and people who have the real interests of black and other minority students at heart would be asking, “Wow! How can we get more kids into these charter schools?” Many minority parents have already taken notice. More than 43,000 families are on waiting lists to get their children into charter schools. But admission is by lottery, and far more have to be turned away than can be admitted.
Why? Because the teachers’ unions are opposed to charter schools — and they give big bucks to politicians, who in turn put obstacles and restrictions on the expansion of charter schools. These include politicians like New York’s “progressive” mayor, Bill de Blasio, who poses as a friend of blacks by denigrating the police, standing alongside Al Sharpton. The net result is that 90 percent of New York City’s students are taught in the regular public schools that have nothing like the success of charter schools run by KIPP and Success Academy.
The results speak for themselves, as "students in school choice programs saw their reading and math scores improve by 27 percent and 15 percent, respectively," per a University of Arkansas study. The problem is that teachers' unions are a major obstacle toward achieving school choice.
Teacher's unions raise over $300 million annually from mandatory fees, which are used to advocate for more taxpayer dollars for education. However, that money is actually used to empower the teacher's unions rather than improve the quality of education. For instance, "California, which ranks 45th in the nation in reading and math despite spending over 55 billion dollars a year on education."
"That’s over 52% of the state’s total budget," Friederichs said. "Yet rarely is anyone held accountable for these dismal results. I’ve personally seen excellent, new teachers lose their jobs while incompetent, and even abusive, veteran teachers keep theirs because of the unions’ infamous 'last in, first out' layoff and tenure rules."
