Commonwealth Foundation is reporting that charter schools are far outperforming traditional schools in Pennsylvania’s cities. It noted that of Philadelphia’s 250 traditional schools only 33 — 13 percent — achieved the “adequate yearly progress” standard, which was reached by 43 of the 81 charter schools — 53 percent — in the city.
The Foundation reports the other cities throughout the state are following that trend.
How about we make every school a charter school, where teachers can’t strike, price controls are not set on construction and renovation and parents get a real say?
One suspects they will even be able to sneak in references to God and the Bible without mocking them. We might even end up with schools like they were in 1958.
