You are exceptionally well informed. A...Dear Madam,<br />You are exceptionally well informed. As a one-time advocate of the theoretical framework behind a few charter schools in the mid-1990s, I have come to realize through my own research and practical work in K-12 and in higher education that they have become, particularly in New Jersey, unchecked cogs in political machines. Virtually no one of ethics or virtue oversees them in New Jersey, and this is a disgrace as they should operate with the same regulations, oversight, and transparency required of any publically funded school. I know first-hand certain charter schools hire, promote, and fire educators without any regard to the law. Students are sometimes selected based on "weeding out" practices and/or athletic prowess. Keep fighting the good fight for regular and magnet public schools. Thank you. <br />Administrator<br />Ed.M.<br />Ed.M.<br />Ed.D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
