  1. “So yes, it’s concerning about losing students,” Turner said, about the possibility students will leave the district for the charter. “But it’s more about not only losing the students, but the funding that goes along with those students, to be honest with you.”

    And here is the most important reason in this story, its ALL about the money…

    1. Losing kids to charters should be the least of their concerns. Charters can be amazing. But just as many are ideologically captured and will sacrifice actual learning to The New Religion. If this charter hastily admits a child given the name Jason who now wears a skirt a grows long hair and goes by the name Skye or Raven or Petula….mark my words, that charter has gone whole-hog for The New Religion, thanks to its leadership. And it’s no better and perhaps worse than the nearby conventional public schools, which have a more conventional tool for accountability.

      Late-night bobbleheads like John Oliver have made it clear they feel the need to quash homeschooling. Little wonder why.
