since they are completely unregulated im gonna go out on a limb and say that clearly contributes to it.
Michigan went from a middle of the road state as far as education goes
to now a bottom tier state, this occured while the explosion of you get a charter and you get a charter!
everybody gets a charter!
as a matter of fact the decline is evident among all races and incomes
do you disagree?
i could go find the quotes but shouldnt have to if you read the article.
i dont have a problem with charters per se, i do have a problem with letting any old moe open a "school"
and get thousands of dollars a year per student and not be responsible for any standards other than their own
