charter schools can get rid of their worst students. Public schools do not have that option as they must educate every student, no matter how bad or disruptive the student is.
That is the core of the argument.
IO went to Catholic School and the biggest threat was to the worst students "Keep that up and you will have to go to PUBLIC SCHOOL." They pained public school like Damnte's 10th level of Hell.
The dummies and disruptives just seemed to disappear, like in a Steven King novel.
My wife worked at one of the large if not the largest charter in nyc. By first grade any kids that they see won’t do well in tests start getting demerit marks. By the the time they are in 5th grade the latest they get rid of the low performing kids using behavior or other excuses. The scores are of course better they eliminate all the kids that need special Ed services etc and keep the ones that will most likely excel. She had a few friends that a brainwashed still and work for the charter. As they work 60 hours a week with no pension my wife works 35 hours a week makes 35k more a year plus a pension. These charters abuse there employees also.
This is bs. Charter schools are not allowed to get rid of special ed students or ESL students. They are required to take them and keep them at the school by law. If any special ed. student was kicked out of a charter, they definitely can sue the school. There are even some charters with ~25% of the school consisting of kids with various learning disabilities, which is significantly higher than any public school.

That must be a real joy for the other 75% <sarcasm.>

They realize in K/1st grade and they mark them down for behavior issues so they use that as an excuse to have them go to a setting that better suits them such as public or catholic schools. I don’t really care my kids don’t go to some pos city school and my wife and I will be lounging on her 6 figure pension in Florida in nyc tax payers dime. Charters have a place maybe some are good, not the one she worked for.
Of course he wants to end them, he and Obama were against school choice and Charter Schools don't have to be unionized, as the liberals are big supporters of unions. The teacher's union is largest supporter financially of Democratic Party. 120K children left NYC public schools last year.
