Stuart Egan has gathered some powerful graphics that demonstrate the war on public schools and their teachers in North Carolina.
You will see, for example, that school grades are not a measure of school quality. They are quite decisively a measure of the affluence or poverty of the students who attend the school.
The schools are underfunded, teachers are underpaid, and fraudulent measures are used to assess students, teachers, and schools.

It would be interesting to see different sets of graphs for other states as well. These graphs show the complete folly of so-called reform. It is a war on poor children and public schools. Creating an unregulated parallel system does nothing for the state and students. It is just throwing public money into an abyss of uncertainty and instability.

so many years, now, of using the test-score punishment agenda for separating out and removing the poorest students in the name of “fixing” their schools and neighborhoods
