Charter Schools Are For Profit Public Schools Are For

I just heard a Pennsylvania schoolteacher state that charter schools are for profit while public schools are for the kids. He continued that Romney and the Republican plan is to come into public schools and sell off the pieces to make profit just like he did at Bain.

This is an interesting descriptor and comparison.

The charter school movement fails to provide evidence that a for profit model improves student learning. Yet, the Republicans continue to push this agenda. Who profits? The standards movement brought profits to businesses selling preparation materials. New "consulting groups" were born to promote student readiness measures.

And what has happened? School budgets are cut while funds shift to these new businesses.
