   Hopefully they got the glaring memo on the complete failure of the Muskegon Heights Public School Academy and Highland Park, both in MI; both being run into the ground by emergency managers and private corporations.

   Yes! I did!

   From http://deutsch29.wordpress.com/2013/03/05/new-orleans-recovery-school-district-the-lie-unveiled/

   “I have used the information available from these data files to audit and expound upon school information from the RSD website.

   Thus, places like York County, Pennsylvania, and other cities nationwide that are considering emulating the “New Orleans miracle of school reform” might be truly informed that no miracle exists. It is a complete and utter fraud.”

   ‘Republican candidate Bryan Tate said he believes that the way to create a more sustainable learning environment is to “create something bold and innovative and new that would be a dramatic change from what we have now.”‘

   After more than a decade, can charter schools really be considered ‘bold’ and ‘new’?

     “Bold and innovative” is charter-speak for taking tax payer money and doing whatever they damn well please with no oversight.

       The innovation involves figuring out ways to funnel money to the CEO and family.

   “Coordinator of Charter Schools, Debra Odom said a lengthy report prepared by the district alleges Tschang was using inappropriate forms of discipline including: slamming students against the wall, placing trash cans over their heads, forcing kids to crawl on their hands and knees while barking, and enforcing unreasonably strict bathroom rules, resulting in students having accidents and vomiting on themselves inside the classroom.”
