NEW YORK – It’s official: teachers union contracts have a severe impact on student learning.
That’s the lesson many folks are talking away from the recent decision by New York City’s United Federation of Teachers to shutter the K-8 charter school it founded in 2005 to prove the opposite, the New York Times reports.

I think I found the problem.
Hm. you don;t say?
Abysmal performance from a union.
Who’da thunk it?
Democrat union thieves couldn’t keep the scam going, huh?
I recently saw the teachers unions in Michigan crying that charter schools did better because they were populated by students who were more motivated (otherwise they never would have left the public sewer, I mean school). Different states but this illustrates that the management and personnel of a school do make a difference, and that union presence is not beneficial.
Union-run. Jumbo-shrimp.
“Union-run” has only ever succeeded with questionable vote-getting. Never with productive work.
Here in San Diego 2 school districts were upset with English only format,One superintendent decided “I’ll just grant all kinds of wavers, the other knowing the program would not work said no wavers “English only”. end of the year guess which district won. The district that did not grant wavers. The story never ran in San Diego, only on the East Coast.
IMO. Charter or public. The success of educating a child rests with the parents of that child. Their involvement and concerns with the out comes is much more important than whether the school is government or charter.
