‘ “This legislation does not divert funds from public schools to charter schools because the charter schools proposed in the legislation will be public schools,” Senator Patricia Rucker wrote in a column for the Wheeling News-Register on Sunday.’
Charter schools are not public schools. They are private contractors who drain resources from public schools and cause them to lay off teachers, increase class sizes, and cut back on electives. The tuition follows the students, but the public school is left with stranded costs, like heating, maintenance, transportation, etc. If you lose 10% of your funding, you can’t cut 10% of your principal
Charter supporters have hijacked the work public to hide the fact that their money is outsourced to private management. They are public in dollars, only #PIDO
It is sad that teachers still have to play a semantic ruse with state legislators. Teachers need to go to the media to explain how the crooked representatives are trying to pull a bait and switch.
If West Virginians can stop charter schools from corrupting their government and fleecing the residents, they will show themselves to be smarter than Ohioans and fiercer at fighting off Fordham/Gates.
Yes! The people! The teachers! The power of the strike!
