if you say stuff like that, people will act as though you shot their grandma

leftists are really emotional about any sort of change in that direction

The charter schools here, are an offshoot of a single district, and they're funded with the per-student amount that their home district would have gotten, but it's diverted to the charter school

Too bad.

And yes, that's how it works everywhere

That seems much better, I don't see the problem

Issue is when poor neighborhoods have the state put many of their students in charter schools, taking the funding with them.

Suddenly you can hardly afford textbooks let alone pay the teachers fairly

how much good would it do if we just got rid of teachers unions?

Bad idea.

That sounds like a budgeting problem, not a charter school problem

Fuck teachers unions

Teachers are one of the most important professions because they groom the future. But get paid shit.

My uncle just retired early because of that

Privatize all this shit

they don't get paid shit really, but yeah i'm with Fitz, most of this shit would be better privatized

My mother was going to get fucked over and not get her benefits because of her sabatical, so the union pressured the school board to pay out. I would probably be homeless.

She can barely walk.

He was threatened with a knife by a MIDDLE SCHOOL student, brought him to the priniple, the student was apologized to, my uncle reprimanded, and the the kids PARENTS threatened him in a parking lot after school

wtf?

She worked with inner city kids and put up with racist little black kids in foster care, that wouldn't listen to anything you told them.

Yeah sounds normal

*He teaches fucking music.*

haha

Happens all the time. The parent is the customer.

Fuck unions in general

was this in the ghetto or something?

Sort of, but not really

Gangsta Rap Classes

It's just social justice ideology on behalf of the union

That's the opposite of a union problem

The union should have led a lawsuit

no, that kid would be gone

Sounds like your uncle had a seriously fucked up union

Really? The union is the one telling him he can't punish the ~~black~~ under privileged students

🤔

It's one of the largest in the country

I dunno, maybe shit's different now

Very

Veritas did a thing on them

Another issue I have with charter schools, is that their teachers don't typically do their own lessons. They get handed what to do and say.
