The worst? Even with private companies running the show? I've read in more than one place that the 'answer' to reforming schools is to turn them over to businesses that run the schools as a business

Interesting - learn something new every day around here.

Yeah, amazing, isn’t it. One of those private companies is Einstein.

The real lesson is that the private companies were “forced” into certain conditions to get the contracts - to hire the same teachers that used to teach in their public schools, thereby guaranteeing incompetent union hacks, and to use the same textbooks and curriculum as the Philadelphia SD - black studies for so-called history, Chicago math, non-phonics-based reading programs - so they have incompetent teachers using crap curriculum all overseen by the head idiots at the state education department.

Private it is not - it’s more of a fascist model in practice.
