Some things never change

[Little-Acorn]

Remember when Democrat governor Geroge Wallace stood defiantly in a schoolhouse doorway to keep black children out?

Some things never change.

 

[The Rabbi]

Wallace was a Democrat.
DiBlasio is also a Democrat.

 

[Unkotare]

The democrats have remained consistent over the centuries, if nothing else.

 

[PaintMyHouse]

Charter schools are free to open, using their own money and their own buildings. We raised funds to build our schools, so did the Catholics, and they are free to do the same.

 

[Mr. H.]

Why let empty schools and empty classrooms go to waste?

 

[PaintMyHouse]

Why let empty schools and empty classrooms go to waste?

No reason to. How much are they renting/buying them for?

 

[Unkotare]

We sure as hell have let tax $ go to waste over the decades.

These charter schools had arranged with the New York government to use buildings that had been sitting idle during these schools' hours, and had been turning out students with vastly superior grades and achievements when compared to students of NYC's goverment schools.

Their results were a real slap in the face to traditional govt schools. And now the govt has struck back, kicking out the charter schools. So the building now stand idle once again, and some of NYC's best-performing schools have lost a priceless opportunity.

The people of New York voted for DiBlasio.

They're getting the government they deserve.

Why let empty schools and empty classrooms go to waste?

Have you visited a public school lately? The occupied classrooms are going to waste, too.

These charter schools' weren't. Their students were doing far better than the public schools' kids were.

Until DiBlasio shut them down.

Mayor Bill de Blasio, seeking to curb the influence of outside providers of education, said on Thursday that he would block three charter schools from using space inside New York City public school buildings

Still, Mr. de Blasio, who was a strident critic of charter schools during his bid for mayor last year, showed signs of compromise. In reviewing 49 proposals to share school space approved under Mr. Bloomberg, he left untouched a majority of plans affecting charter schools.

His position puts him at odds with fellow Democrats, including President Obama and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York, who has helped expand the schools across the state.

Exactly! That's the only thing that matters. Dems love power. Not to do anything but enrich themselves and keep themselves in power.
Excellent point.

Why Charter Schools Fail the Test

By CHARLES A. MURRAY

Published: May 4, 2010 120 Comments



THE latest evaluation of the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program, the oldest and most extensive system of vouchers and charter schools in America, came out last month, and most advocates of school choice were disheartened by the results.

The evaluation by the School Choice Demonstration Project, a national research group that matched more than 3,000 students from the choice program and from regular public schools, found that pupils in the choice program generally had “achievement growth rates that are comparable” to similar Milwaukee public-school students. This is just one of several evaluations of school choice programs that have failed to show major improvements in test scores, but the size and age of the Milwaukee program, combined with the rigor of the study, make these results hard to explain away.
