Who cares what they do or don't admit or whose ego is hurt by what or who looks good and who looks bad; what is most important here? The kids and their education are.

You are probably missing more than something, but that's another topic. I googled it and I see a list of articles from a bunch of left wing rags, should i be surprised?

We agree on that. The problem is that these corporations have their own financial interests coming first, not our kids' education.

Have you spent anytime dealing with Charter schools? I have. Some really are great while others are truly terrible. The terrible ones exists because for them it's more about making money then educating children.

Naturally the terrible ones should have their charter revoked, that is the whole idea.

They do eventually but not before damage is done for the students who attended the school in the meantime.

Try revoking a failed public school's charter, way more difficult.

Start by googling Detroit charter schools, then move onto Deion Sanders...you'd be surprised. It wasn't left wing rags reporting on these either. Not surprising you feel that way given your thick skull. Too bad skull thickness has nothing to do with brain function.
