The Washington Post looked closely at the DC voucher program and found a shocking lack of oversight or accountability.
The reporters found that there was little or no oversight over curriculum, quality or standards, and parents got no information other than te schools’ advertising.
“…Washington Post review found that hundreds of students use their voucher dollars to attend schools that are unaccredited or are in unconventional settings, such as a family-run K-12 school operating out of a storefront, a Nation of Islam school based in a converted Deanwood residence, and a school built around the philosophy of a Bulgarian psychotherapist.”
Accountability, apparently, is only for public schools.
You can bet that the voucher schools won’t be required to adopt the Common Core standards or to evaluate teachers by test scores. If these schools fail, they won’t e forced to fire their staff or close or turn into a charter.
Double standards, anyone?

And our Georgia politicians want the same for us!
Accountability is for peons.
Someone needs to shove that information up Rash Emanuel’s legislative keister!
Off Topic: I am flying out of Florida today. There are Teach for America ads on the TSA bins. “Who are the future leaders of America?” Ugh.
NYC, Buffalo and and many other districts in NY are under the gun from Lil Jon King the grizzled vet of 3 years of charter school teaching. We have til January to agree to some ridiculous form of evaluation that can be used against us or millions and millions of federal dollars will be withheld. Meanwhile his charter girlfriends are under no such pressure. Nor are they obliged to participate in the ridiculous and Rabelaisian waste of time known as SLOs. Charters are exempt from any of the state’s asinine attempts to confuse, obstruct and punish public school teachers and keep us from doing our jobs. I make the distinction because charter schools are in no way public schools no matter how much hot air they vent to the contrary.
Great post although it isn’t really shocking since the real voucher agenda has never been about providing kids with a quality education.
