It seems a very high percentage of charter schools are launched by people with little to no educational or administrative background, tend to have employees that are related to each other or have other personal connections, and are often minorities who claim to be helping other minorities. Frankly, it looks like a grift that provides public employment for friends and family with minimal oversight. The charter system needs serious reform.
If Indianapolis is serious about educating all IPS children, someone needs to be held accountable for the creation, curriculum and administration of these schools. The highest priority for curriculum for K-3 should be reading, writing and math. All the other subjects are moot if Johnny and Cindy can’t read when they get to 4th grade. Stop wasting everyone’s time and money on dreamy ideology when they are in elementary school. They can start to branch out into ‘elective’ performing arts and other subjects in middle school.
IPS needs to put the tax dollars where the kids attend school.
A Charter School Czar should be appointed to hold the charter schools accountable to meet all the requirements of the state at that level of instruction.
The only ones being hurt by this are the children who are not getting even a good basic education.
We need less, not more, organizations to sanction charter schools… and the financial incentive to charter a school should be considered a management fee with obligations on the chartering organization. When one of ‘their’ schools fails, they should also face consequences.
