During the next two years, more than twenty million dollars of Zuckerberg's gift and matching donations went to consulting firms with various specialties:
public relations, human resources, communications, data analysis, teacher evaluation. Many of the consultants had worked for Joel Klein, Teach for America, and other programs in the tight-knit reform movement, and a number of them had contracts with several school systems financed by Race to the Top grants and venture philanthropy.
The going rate for individual consultants in Newark was a thousand dollars a day. Vivian Cox Fraser, the president of the Urban League of Essex County, observed, "Everybody’s getting paid, but Raheem still can't read."

Believe it or not, some Libnuts have created a new meme that school choice and charter schools are racist. Of course we all knew they would say that because that's ALL they ever have to say about anything Liberal agenda- don't try to fix problems just call the other side racist and prevent real change and progress from happening.
Why don't you compare the scholastic scores of high schoolers in liberal States such as Vermont, New Jersey, Massachusetts etc, on standardized test to those of your hero states of Idaho, Oklahoma, Texas etc.
And then come back to us on tell us how bad liberals are in education.
Also, you might want to take a gander at the top twenty universities in the USA and note their location.....Is even one located in a Red State?
They are all graded on curves so of course they are going to look good. That's the whole point with moonbats the C is now the new A so everyone is stupid smart.

They could find anything racist, anything...Once again trying to draw attention away from their failure, only it is not working anymore, they are afraid and on the run....
Funny how quit the leftist are about this, The dam of leftist lies and stupidity is cracking, it will soon collapse the the flood of competition and rewarding success shall soon flood them out of existence.
We have the bar set so low that we have a ditch witch working overtime now
It's gotten so bad that kids get a grade of 100 if they return parent forms signed.
A "FREE" 100 to your grade !
Remember this is how leftist view the world.
We all cant succeed but we can all fail.
We all cant be wealthy but we can all be in poverty.
We all cant be exceptional but we can be average.
We all cant be intelligent but we can be dumbed down.
They are standing before a ever increasing number of people and parents trying to justify the unjustifiable and the are growing more and more and afraid at the thought of losing the only way they can maintain their control...indoctrination and uneducating the youth....Once that is gone their house of cards implodes..
This isn't a 'liberal' issue, it's an issue of No Child Left Behind's legacy making it difficult for poorer schools to offer even the most basic education.
Obama should have dismantled the program entirely... it's only furthering the gap between the classes.
