(Download Link to entire article) The charter school deception is rooted in the shared beliefs of its founders. Corporate titans like the Walmart-creating Walton family, Bill Gates, and other very wealthy individuals have collectively spent billions seeding and sustaining this movement until states and the federal government passed laws and regulations sanctioning and subsidizing charter schools.

Sorry buddy-you got that wrong. I’m encouraging you to THINK. Walk the issue 360 degrees before jumping on the bandwagon (from the skillet into the fire).
My child was pulled out of UNESCO education in 5th grade. I educated him all by myself. He is now in a CLASSICAL -CHRISTIAN curriculum with 2 campus days. very rigorous.
However, I understand that the education philosophy of today will be the political philosophy of tomorrow. I am skeptical of a plan that set up our public school system to fail and now the same crew wants to provide the solution. P3’s are NOT THE ANWSER.
Here is another area of “privatization” in the transportation area. An excerpt from a conservative grassroots activist with over a decade of experience at the Texas Capitol stopping taxpayers from RAPINE/PILLAGE.
EXCERPT:
A state lawmaker in Virginia just calculated the cost of tolls to his constituents on I-66 that was handed over to Cintra. Tolls could be $1.50 a mile! So for the full length of the tollway during peak hours, the cost to a commuter would be $92/day or up to $23,000/year with no free lane option! Toll agencies across Texas are hoping to cash-in on such public private partnerships (P3s) now that Trump has signaled a push for privatized toll roads as the means to rebuild American infrastructure (here’s a better solution). Now more than ever, we need a strong grassroots presence at the Texas Capitol!
PRIVATIZATION IS SUSPECT!
No. It should only be the parents of the children who control what goes into the worldview of their children. We have destroyed the idea of parental Natural Duties embedded in our Constitution, which demands parents to raise their own children, which is what created individualism and Free Will to the greatest degree in the history of the World. Only in America, where the English class structure of indoctrination into classes/group-think never existed in America. Children could grow up to “think” for themselves and they were filled with Common Sense (real life experiences—not artificial, controlled ones) until John Dewey forced mandatory “education” by the State (Fabian Socialists) and destroyed Classical Christian curricula for moral relativism and pragmatism which was designed to destroy concepts of Objective Truth (God) and teach evil ideologies and vice as “good” (moral relativism). (Wisdom is discerning good and evil which doesn’t exist without Objective Truth (God)).
This was the purpose of the “Prussian” system of mass indoctrination-—to make little brainwashed drones for State slavery (NWO/One Mind)—like the Prussian army, just masses of people who could never think for themselves and only took orders and did the most atrocious evil things because of “orders” only, and that programmed mindset which only embeds dependency.
Individualism and free will and creativity comes from wisdom and knowledge which is only transmitted by free, unstructured human interactions which embed agency in children and the ability to control their own base emotions. Sitting in a classroom, being controlled 24/7 or demeaned for “thinking” for yourself or punished for your natural male instincts is EVIL and it destroys children and makes them into angry, self-hating programmed “bots”. (Germany’s system of self-loathing and suicide).
Now, the Davy Crockett type of “education” inside the Natural Family is ideal, where Classical “education” (the Bible and Great Books) are the main curricula (not queer studies which destroys children’s understanding of Truth (God) and Logic and Science (Natural Law Theory)—the ideas which created the Age of Reason and Modern Science and the US Constitution.
The Leftists want to destroy the Chrstian worldview of Free Will and Individualism and that is what this “system” does. John Taylor Gatto goes into the deep destruction of human minds which occurs in this brainwashing system. The Natural Family exists to destroy “group” “think”—and only Christian cultures developed that individualism and the idea of free will which created Western Civilization. No other worldview is as rational (based on Natural Law Theory) as Christianity is...that is why it has to be destroyed by Marxists—because they need irrational people who are incapable of critical thought. (like the skools create now).
We need to get govt. OUT of programming our children and get parents into truly parenting—and shame them when they don’t. Socialization occurs in the Natural Family between the ages of two and five and it is essential for it to include unstructured interactions which embed agency and true self-esteem because children learn to control their own desires and base urges and body functions. Putting them into artificial systems where they are demeaned, shamed by peer pressure, etc., and exposed to herd “think” where if they express their own uniqueness, they are punished or shamed or unpopular (rejected). The system is set to destroy Virtue formation in children (children controlling their own emotions—just have outside control 24/7).
All children want to be loved and included-—but the system sets up a group-think system where individualism and Free Will are destroyed and never embedded in the children-—so they will have a tribal, serf mind for life.
We need to re-evaluate HOW to create critical thinking, moral human beings. Socrates stated the ONLY purpose of education was to teach Virtue in children. Why? Because only virtuous people can be free and control themselves. Outer Control (the State) is never needed. Like our Founders stated, if all men were angels, we would need no government. Marxists understand that and for totalitarianism they need evil people so they designed a system to destroy virtue formation and hyper-sexualize children so they will be corrupted and remain puerile for life—and need govt. assistance.
My comment that you copied was based on personal experience. It's unfortunate that you choose to lash out rather than read and understand. Perhaps your own incompetence was protected by a union at one time?
I have had conversations with three different principals in our district who admit the same thing. These conversations happened after we (as individuals and in groups) sued (and threatened to sue) several teachers for abusing students and using grades to punish them and their parents. Did you know that the school administration in our district cannot override any grade a teacher submits? Can you imagine how a corrupt enterprise like this uses this leverage to produce the desired behavior in students and taxpayers alike? I am painfully aware and knowledgeable about the problems of public education, and how lousy teachers don't teach, abuse, and then indoctrinate our children, into accepting social justice and collectivism without question.
Our district is fairly affluent so the lack of parent participation in the process isn't as widespread as it is in more urban areas. Yeah, parent neglect a serious problem, but it is these same people who promoted the ideology that has destroyed the family unit in this country while engendering the belief that it takes a village (government) to raise a child. The entire system is corrupt and wretched, but the teachers played, and continue to play, a huge part.
Teaching in our system is an easy job with the highest pay in the state and a pensions system the private sector can only dream of. Even though the government ties their hands and dictates far too much, they have no problem finding teachers. I know it can be very different elsewhere. They made their bed and now they need to lie in it. It must be nice going to work every day not having to worry about competition or producing results. It's the perfect job for people who aspire to be dead weight. It can also be the perfect job for people who want to make a contribution. If the union (and the people who protect the union) would get the hell out of the way (along with apologists such as yourself) we could make sure we have more of the latter than the former. That would make more than a little difference.
Your comment about "it must be nice going to work every day not having to worry about competition or producing results" is a semi truck load of baloney. Teachers are constantly being harassed for their grade stats and whether their lessons are in line with the teaching methodology currently in vogue. There is currently no room for teachers who want to be mavericks and teach the way they think they should teach, to "make a difference". Such teachers have a special name: unemployed. Your whole discussion is about some alternate universe, not in line with current Earth reality in large cities.
Teachers are not allowed to “teach”. They are only facilitators to promote a socialist “group (non) think” worldview (curricula) designed by evil, satanic Billy Ayers-types. That is why the great (real) teachers always quit.
GOVERNMENT is SUSPECT.
You can either use charter schools or not as you wish.
If you want you can find another school that meets your needs.
A private or charter school will not force you at gun point to fork over the money to support them. GOVERNMENT schools will and do.
You child will not be forced into a private or charter school. He can be forced into a GOVERNMENT school.
Pretty much what's happening here. We matched the spending (mostly union driven against us) dollar for dollar and lost by less than 2,000 votes out of 60,000 cast. The problem was the incumbent put an "R" next to her name because republicans far outnumber democrats here, while giving the democrats everything they want. Not only did we have to fight the dems, who were supporting a (poser) republican, we had to alert republicans that the incumbent wasn't who she was pretending to be.
It is amazing to what lengths these people will go to protect their turf and gravy.
Actually I taught school for 12 years.
The NEA is the hand maiden to the Anti-Christ
Teachers don't have to worry about competition and they have little worry about losing their jobs -- unless you also also deny the reality of rubber rooms. Yeah, they have to put up with a lot of crap from their supervisors. So what? Trying to compare what teachers have to deal with (big city, suburbs or rural) to what the private sector has to deal with every day of the week, and weekends, is comical.
My universe is much more common than yours so thank you for marginalizing what a large percentage of parents/taxpayers have to deal with. Your reality is the only reality so please don't let any other circumstances influence your world view in any way.
Perhaps teachers who don't like the system should find more meaningful employment in the private sector? One of the best lines ever came from he first Ghostbusters movie when the professors were about to be fired...."Personally, I liked the university. They gave us money and facilities; we didn't have to produce anything. You've never been out of college. I've worked in the private sector. [states fearfully] They expect results."
If you truly have any interest in current Earth realities" that quote provides it.
Privatizing on taxpayer dollars (with soviet appointed boards) then turning around and selling educational products to the entire school system, with no oversight. NUTS!
Neo-marxism.
If your ‘Public School’ accepts any money from the Federal Government, then the Federal Education Department controls your schools. Everything else is flash and propaganda.
yes...isn’t it interesting how ol’Arne is a big CHOICE fan?

Everyone's been goggling at the rampaging of teens at malls all over the U.S. THAT is the reality of what's in teachers' classrooms, MUCH more than your idyllic experience. I found myself wondering for an instant "What's the big deal? Why is this rampaging through malls so news worthy?" until I realized most people don't know what it's like to have large groups of out of control kids in one place at one time, and--to boot--organized through social media to meet to do it. Those kids you saw on the videos running mindlessly and destructively through malls, destroying stuff and pushing people just for fun--those are our students. Theirs is the mentality we daily deal with. With that as your raw material, let's see what YOU could do with it. Don't use To Sir With Love or any of those tales as your goal, because there's a 99% chance it ain't gonna happen as you hope. Couple that with a teaching methodology forced upon teachers which has nothing to do with reality, and get back to me.
No rubber rooms available.
Snarky little devil, aren't ya? Disrespectful as all get out, too. You clearly have no respect for the difficult job that teachers do. I actually think you're a troll, since I haven't seen you around. Take your snark and stick where it will not photosynthesize.
I have worked in the private sector, but I wanted to do more than simply make money. I wanted to get in and get kids excited about learning science. I've had my successes in that sector, and I've had my failures. Neither you, nor any other punk troll can take that away from me. Those who wanted to learn, learned. Those who wanted to get something for nothing--in this case, a passing grade for little to no work--got exactly what they put in as a return for their efforts. That may well have been their first experience with reality, and I took the subsequent hit for my students as a conscientious individual up against an overwhelmingly libtard infested system. To pass students who did not do an acceptable amount of work would have been betraying my country.
What have YOU done for your country?
I have tremendous respect for teachers, but less respect for those who complain about a job protected by a union, three months off per year, a generous pension plan unknown in the private sector and no real competition. Add to that list a profound superiority complex and the snark rises quickly. I'd attempt to explain what it's like fighting pervasive competition every day along with fighting government every step of the way, but you have no understanding of, or interest in, such mundane things.
You can continue to feel superior but I'm not impressed.
You have NO idea of what you're talking about. None whatsoever. Actual teachers who have read your posts about this are ROFL and they've emailed me to tell me so. Maybe we can drop Netflix and just read your posts, for laughs.
I'm in Georgia, and haven't had any contact of any sort from the NEA. I'd ignore it if I didn't agree with it.
The only thing we are getting from admin right now is a quest for more leniency on grading, which they are still leaving to the teacher's discretion.
I don't see any of that where I teach.
