Indiana and Ohio are in a tight race to the bottom in the online charter industry
Whether in Ohio or Indiana, the online charter fraud seems to continue unabated.
Some entrepreneurs can smell a dollar a mile away. Online charters have an enticing fiscal aroma. The fact is that the online charters have a guaranteed income based on all students whether or not they participate in the program.
These privately-operated charters should be shut down. School districts have the capacity to provide online services to the students who need such programs. Let the online entrepreneurs switch to growing earthworms.

Sending money to cyber charters is like hooking the public treasury of the state up to an IV drip of public money into the private pockets of various profiteers. As more money drips out, the state loses more money and weakens its ability to provide adequate education for the majority of students. This is horrible policy, especially since it has been proven to be a waste of public money. It is easy money for profiteers like Michael Milken, the junk bond king. He is an experienced scammer. Cyber charters are more junk pretending to be education. The fact that Indiana and Ohio continue to throw money into this black hole shows there are corrupt politicians allowing this to happen. Both states need to clean house and rid themselves of the cyber charter enablers.
