The problem is that charter schools have skewed data because they hand select students who are already performing well in school. If they had to educate students with learning diabilities or students from broken homes like public schools do, they wouldn't look so holier than thou

Good education is racisss!!

As a teacher working in a public school. Saddly I don't have to imagine. We are less and less education, and more and more a daycare.

Good point. Was true for me. When I was placed in advanced level classes without even being asked, I got serious. I was lucky

We have been doing a similar thing in the homeschool group I was in. It works well.

Believe it or not, a friend who taught in New Jersey schools, late 70's, had ongoing issues with, "if the education was good enough for me, it's good enough for my kid." That attitude sure doesn't help kids.

They are also indoctrinating your kids

My oldest couldn’t read “Cat in the Hat” at the end of 2nd grade. It was so bad! We pulled him out and started homeschooling because there were NO other options. He’s almost 19, in college, and set to graduate this fall. Best decision we’ve ever made!! I know it’s not for everyone but if you can sacrifice it pays off in the long run.

Listen to some of the union teachers speak. They're illiterates teaching illiterately.

If it takes a shutdown to find out your child is behind, I suppose a lack of parental involvement in their education is part of the issue.

@@ageofgaslightenment I accept that I could have been more involved. I certainly am now. The difference is the charter school never hesitated to let us know when & where my child was having issues. Public school just acted like daycare & apparently didn't grade based on actual achievement or feel like encouraging engagement. So like a fool I trusted people with the title of teacher to "teach". Lesson learned.

Only as long as everyone remembers that school isn't daycare. I suspect that too many kids (and parents) transition from daycare to school without taking time to contemplate the very real difference. Kids really do have a job, learning, and I suspect very few are told explicitly that they do and what it is.

When victimhood began paying more

No child left behind. All of the advanced placement programs in my district were scrapped to move the funding to special education during that time. I went from learning pre-calc in 5th grade to being a problem child in 6th grade and routinely accused of cheating because I didn't pay attention in class but still got ~100% on the tests. I even got suspended once because I wasn't showing work, told the teacher I was just doing it in my head, and my teacher said it was impossible, even he struggled doing it in his head. The administration said the only possibility was that I had cheated (even though they made me take a new, harder test, under supervision and still aced it). I wish I could find that teacher now, show him my PhD in physics, and tell him how he made me want to drop out of school. If it wasn't for my 7th grade math teacher that gave me separate assignments on the side to challenge me I would have tuned out completely. She was awesome but she got reprimanded by the same administrator for not having me follow the "approved 7th grade" curriculum.

@@MM3Soapgoblin this makes me sad. I see this with my son in our district as well. They have some advanced programs, but in the last few years they have been starting to allow anyone who wants to participate be in them. It has caused the challenge level to drop significantly. I'm no expert in SPED issues, but I do believe some of the funding for SPED should be funded through medical department, not education. Many SPED students require physical medical or mental health medical intervention. We have an older son that has a learning disability that mimics dyslexia. I do believe if he had been referred to a medical professional, he would have been diagnosed much more quickly and received the kind of training and assistance he needed.

years ago my daughter started at a private school for kindergarten and first grade. We couldn't afford it and sent her to public school starting in second grade. She had learned to write in cursive in 1st grade in private school. Her second grade public school teacher told her not to write in cursive because the other kids didn't know how yet and it would hurt their feelings. Public school in a nut shell, lower the top not raise the bottom.

I was born in Russia and went to first grade there before moving to the US. We learned long division by the end of 1st grade. I wasn’t challenged in the US in math until I went to middle school.

I work in a school. It's almost embarrassing how little is expected from these kids... Showing up is pretty much all they seem to expect

You'll own nothing and be happy

Every Asian kid does that aswell. We all go to schools, but the moment we come home, we learn at our own pace. School is more like a glorified daycare, and home and Kahn Academy/kumon is our real teachers. Sad that rich white liberals dont understand this basic aspect of education.

They are victims though... victims of the school system speaking on their behalf

They tell some children that they are victims, but they also slander and villify certain children, like children of military families, as oppressors.

"You are a victim, thats why you're so uneducated my child.. Trump did this" :DD

Funny thing is. Those experts for Finland would be 100% against charter schools. I was reading a report written by one into Australia's education system, which went from top 5 to... far down.. in 20 years. What happened over the last 20 years? Standardised testing, publicly funding private education and creating 'independent public schools' aka charter schools. So why are we falling? Why are charter schools and why is subsidizing private education bad? It encourages segregation. In Australia parents who can afford to drive their kids can remove their kids from 'bad' schools or pay for their kids to be in schools that are highly funded. Why is that bad? When schools reach the threshold of 50% disadvantaged kids it becomes very hard to lift up kids due to lack of role models and behaviour issues. In Finland there are no charter schools. There are no private schools. You have public schools and you send your kid to the closest one. There is no shopping around. The problem is that education is run by politicians. If experts ran it we could scrap half the non-sense and follow what science says works. My foster kid is in public school. His old public school had 2 nominated teachers of the year and principal of the year but it had over 60% disadvantaged kids. He is now at very boring school but in which maybe 10% are low socio economic. He has so many issues and he easily the most disadvantages, and worst behaved, kid in the school. He has come further in 1 year than he did in the first 3 years of school. Why? Because he looks at his peers and measures his behaviours and academics against them. He has raised his own standards.

what the finland schools and charter schools have in common is that they are aware that they teaching children, each with an diffrent technique to keep the kids interested

And he doesn't take sides,which so many so called journalists do now.

That's because some charter only accept students who are already perfoming well in school. They don't need to catch students up who are behind. Especially since teachers at charter schools do not need teaching degrees or licenses. The charters who actually try do it right and accept both higher and lower performing students perform even worse than public schools because they have less experienced teachers

Charter schools only accept students who are already performing high in school. They take funding away from public schools who service kids with learning disabilities who charter schools feel are not worth their time or effort

@@MP-ef9yo Did you not watch the video? One, many charter schools have lotteries for any kid who qualifies. Two, if public school was gone, then private education would offer more opportunities for kids with disabilities, and in fact they already do in cities that don't tax their residents so much that the residents don't want to engage in private charity.

Each had fantastic shops that were well funded and even had corporate sponsorships. e.g Toyota and Automotive, Carpentry with some local builders, etc. That's what high school needs to be.

bad idea for children. Also if you noticed adults already have self-education as they choose to go college or not

I am somewhat surprised that we haven't 'gamified' education at this stage of our technological development. Every child should get a tablet / iPad that comes pre-loaded with Math, English and Science courses that get steadily more complex.

I think both structured education and autodidactic learning are important. The larger problem is that children are given little choice in what they learn. 90% of my schooling was a waste of time. The only valuable classes I ever took were Math, Science, and Metal Shop. I'll include French ASL as well because learning a second language is just plain cool. The rest of the useful things I ever learned, I learned on my own because I was interested. I'd have given anything to drop History and English and spend as much time as possible in Metal Shop and Wood Shop. I was going to read books anyway, and I don't think anything other than basic history is important for kids. You can't really understand history at that age, or appreciate why it's important to know. This is especially true when it's all about memorizing people and dates. Broad strokes are all kids need, and it always jumped around in time, giving no coherence to the story of mankind. You know what they didn't teach us in the 90's? Vietnam. Korea. Nixon. McCarthy. And don't get me started on the nonsense they taught us about Egypt, Columbus, or Native Americans.

@@Delosian bad idea because they will expect a reward.

@@aquilesriffo Can you expand on what you meant by going to college or not?

So true! I’d recommend doing away with summer break. No job gives you 3 months off annually, so why train children to expect that? Maybe school has more shorter breaks and more trips/games, but the long vacation shouldn’t exist if the goal is to prepare them for working as an adult! :)

@@FuddlyDud I like the year around school year where different groups of kids have different weeks off spread out throughout the year. It gives various seasonal options for vacations and breaks up the monotony. Moreover this also helps with daycare cost for the family and stability for the daycares themselves. When you spread out the demand the prices will be lower and with a consistent number of children the daycares are more stable. The staffing can be fulltime instead of seasonal part time which means better employees. Instead we have boom and bust cycles with daycares and tons of staffing issues. Most of the positions end up part time and are hired quickly which leads to garbage people watching kids.

Only as long as everyone remembers that school isn't daycare. I suspect that too many kids (and parents) transition from daycare to school without taking time to contemplate the very real difference. Kids really do have a job, learning, and I suspect very few are told explicitly that they do and what it is.

@@maltava4534 Totally true on the varying vacations, better daycare hours, etc.! Bingo on the boom and bust cycles. We need to better serve everyone involved with more consistency AND properly prepare children for adulthood!

@@rosc2022 VERY good point! The goal is learning/training for adulthood and most kids don't realize this growing up. :/ However, in charter and private schools, the norm is learning and the goal is performing well. :)

While most of what you’re saying is true, the government’s involvement in schools has led to nothing but bloated bureaucracy, inefficiency, corruption (ideological and financial) and miserable outcomes for students. We would have been far better off keeping schools private with some sort of public option that would be akin to a social welfare program and a last resort.

What she said about games is huge. My 8 year old hated school after kindergarten. She said it’s not fun anymore. That’s huge. Government schools are not responsive overall, some teachers are but the public school systems are these huge unwieldy beasts that just can’t cope with change and can’t really meet students where they are.

The reason I don't buy this argument is that, if it was true, then it could be tested by merely comparing outcomes for students who participate in interdistrict enrollment to students in charters, since presumably both sets of parents are involved in the students wellbeing. Demonstrating statistically that parents are less involved in some schools over others is hard, but it is possible to get some sense of that. Similarly, I find it questionable that the parents enrolling students in charters are consistently more involved or provide a greater home environment. Given that demographically, charters disproportionately enroll students who are poor or near poor, and part of racial minority groups, than the public schools, I find this claim dubious. So poor black students failing in public schools simply have bad home environments, but the same students going to charters, sometimes even in the same building as the public schools, they magically have a better home environment? If these parents are so much more involved, and that's what drives test scores up, why choose the charters in the first place? At what point do we admit that parents look at and care about the curriculum differences? Even if you were right, would it not be desirable to have that separation so that students capable of going at an increased pace were not stymied by students with a slower pace of learning and less support at home?

The fact that Charter schools get more money from students, should be a case to actually support charter schools. Its clear that the US Government would rather spend $2 trillion on afghanistan, than our own countries education. Its up to ourselves to pay for our education, or atleast integrate that pay with our welfare state

It's been my experience that leftists are deeply subconsciously racist and really do think black people are inferior and need assistance with everything. Which is how we ended up with affirmative action / quota hires. Meanwhile, Asians are losing opportunities because they're overrepresented in colleges. SAT scores required for admission are literally adjusted by race. If that isn't racist, I don't know what is. Don't get me wrong, there is no dearth of right-leaning racists either, but at least they have the decency to be up front about their ignorance.

It's easy when you only have to teach the 5% of the kids that get the best teachers and the most focus. The only thing new here is calling that "Charter schools".

Exactly and public schools are the ones tasked with educating kids without a strong support system at home and this guy wants to say that they are "failing" when they just have a job that is 10x harder

@@chrisaustin9949 Charter schools do not get the best teachers necessarily. Public schools have a much higher budget, attracting the more experienced teachers to higher pay. public schools also have a more diverse curriculum. The opportunity for an excellent education exists in both. That being said, I believe that neither is a perfect fit for every child. The key to a good education is parental involvement.

I think that the reason teachers fight this is because they would have to actually do work and have responsibility for meeting higher standards. Most teachers I see balking at charter schools are ones that see educating our children to be a cushy job that they will get paid regardless of outcomes. Their union will protect them, and their retirement. It's sad.

True story!! I did substitute teaching for 3 years. There are some exceptions, but mostly true! The classrooms that had the fewest problems were teachers that clearly had high standards and expectations, didn't put up with anything, but were also encouraging/cheerleaders for the students. The students would say the teacher was "strict and makes us work hard". When I asked if the teacher was mean, they would say no, actually nice rather.

Let's hope it isn't that bad.

Similar in GA, there was a charter school here so bad that people were begging to leave and go back to regular public schools.

Face it, there are going to be bad apples all over. The key thing is that if one of these schools does not live up to at least the level of the public schools, they will lose attendance - and too much lost attendance will lead to closing the doors. Bad schools closing down is only possible in this kind of free market. And bad schools closing down is a good thing in the end.

More choice will help parents get rid of bad school, regardless of public or charter

True. Whats good though, is those bad charter schools can actually go out of business, and dont have to deal with unions

Good morning, monday morning...

My 3 kids went to a charter school, one in elementary, one in middle & one in high school. They all loved it. My kindergartener learned how to write in cursive before printing. I was truly amazed at how well that school was run(and the kids were so well behaved). Then we moved to another state with no nearby charter, so public was the only option- and it went downhill from there. They got an education, yes, but a better one? I doubt it. There was also a lot of drama with the public schools. Parents don’t want to help. People don’t seem to care about the kids as much. Teachers don’t have time to care- they have state test requirements to meet, so that’s all they can focus on. It’s sad.

The funny part is that charter schools always have a higher drug use rate than their public counterparts. Its funny how that charter schools have these problems, but still vastly outperform their counterparts.

The issue is that charter schools only accept students who are already perfoming well in school. They leave behind any student who has a learning disability. Thus they take all the best students and exploit them for their test scores. Public schools are left with all the lower performing students and must work 10x harder to get them where they need to be. That is the problem with the system.

@@MP-ef9yo If that were true, it would logically follow that students would not improve their performance in charter schools because they were already doing well. Again, show me the parents who say as much. For that matter, if a student is doing well in a public school, why would their parents even want to move them at all? Taking a child away from their friends to a new school is not done lightly. Plus you ignored that the students are chosen by lottery and thus the poaching you describe can't happen. There's also the fact that magnet schools have been around for generations and the union teachers haven't done any similar screaming about it because those schools are filled with union teachers too. You also seem to be implying that most or all poor performing students have a learning disability, and I don't see anyone presenting evidence of that. This is just a litany of excuses for a pool of teachers who have proved at every turn that they care nothing about their students; they literally want to phone it in.

@@palaceofwisdom9448 Parents move their kids because they don't want them to be around all the lower-performing kids. They feel as if they would be bad influences, which can be somewhat understandable, but those kids have a right to an education too. I did not imply that at all. If that is what you took from it, that is your own personal bias. Those lotteries are not blind. They are heavily screened.

But if you're engaged then you don't realize how much time you spend there. There are a lot of kids that go to public schools then go to after school programs and that is just as long as this charter school hours.

@YernthonTV What is your problem? Go get help. I know america also has the worst healthcare system in the world, but seriously... you need mental help.

This right here!!! If public schools were able to get rid of non performing students and get more funding, I'm pretty sure their numbers would go up too. Let's be honest Charters schools and public schools can't be compared. They don't have the same resources, the same parents, or the same type of children. It's not that simple.

They point out that the retention rate in the public schools is doubly worse that of the charters. By your logic, one must also logically conclude that the public schools are driving out more of their worst students, and their scores would also go up. Similarly, if it's just about selection, you'd expect the scores of students participating in interdistrict enrollment to have comparable scores to the charters, since presumably those parents are also going out of their way, and more invested, which you would expect to manifest in scores across demographics groups most likely to participate in interdistrict enrollment. And yet, enrollment characteristics of both charters and interdistrict skew more towards the poor and near poor, according the NCES. They're less likely to have a racial majority than public schools, and more likely to have black or Hispanic majorities. So it's hard for me to see where that selection is taking place. It would appear to be the opposite, that those who would otherwise be "disadvantaged" are disproportionately leveraging that opportunity to become "advantaged", regardless of starting point and initial investment.

@@mariamakebbeh Thats true. The charters enroll more racial minorities, particularly black and Hispanic, and enroll less wealthy students in favor of near poor and poor students. The wealthy go to public schools, presumably leveraging additional resources as many AP students do, or private schools. So, you're certainly right that they can't be easily compared, since the charters have a more difficult task. And yet, when compared, they fare quite well. Funny that.

@@VincentWeisTheThird If you get rid of 10% of the charter school kids they go into public school I assume? If you get rid of 20% of public school kids... What does that even mean? Where do they go?
