WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!

Not good!

Guess Who Runs 85+ U.S. Charter Schools???

Yep, an Islamist Gülen Movement.

Good. Classical education makes thinkers who learn logic and reason, and how to find the truth, the things Marxist infiltration destroyed in our public schools.

I have now emailed them to see if I can help in some way.

Pity they can’t open one in their home state of MI.
Our charter law only allows so many University sponsored charters.

My kids would be in school in a heartbeat if we could get them into a Hillsdale sponsored school.

Hillsdale College is by far the best of the best. This is significant.

How can we help and support them.

Been trying to figure out how to get both my teenage girls to go to Hillsdale for college. Neither cares for snow very much...

Keep it in Michigan.
We need it desperately.

Have you done any research about how many companies run charter schools in the US?
There are hundreds
How about how many charter schools there are?
Over one million students are enrolled in more than 3,500 schools in 40 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico this year.

Those 85 schools are in Utah and AZ only. While I do think it’s a big deal, do you REALLY think that Hillsdale will go with that company to run their charters?

Come on.

Seriously, in my personal experience (daughter attended, nephews still attend) Charters beat PS by far. They are one of our few hopes for improving education in the US.

Their scope and sequence is freely available from their website.

Thanks—that one works.

I am interested because I have 3 grandchildren in a charter school in the Ft Worth area.

Thankfully, theirs’ is not one of these schools.

Bump.

for later

That doesn’t much help with a charter in MI.
From what a homeschooling mom can see, they are using a classical education. Fantastic!
We’re doing the same. It makes a successful child.

And one who can tell a bully to go blow in Latin!

I agree to an extent about the Charter v. PS.

I really don’t care for either, & yes I’ve done research on Charter schools.

I’ll be happy to provide some researched links if you’d like.
