Growing Evidence that Charter Schools Are Failing

[mopinko]

1. i always find it amusing

that the people who complain about high stakes testing, and its mis-measurement of the common schools are the first to condemn charter schools with the same yardstick.
in point of fact, standardized testing is an even worse measure for charter schools. at least in the common schools it is basically aligned with the curriculum. at charters, especially those that are the least like the common schools, it could be almost completely irrelevant.

common schools-teaching to the test, bad
charter schools-teaching to the test, imperative.
