You don't even want to get me started on that one.


I worked in public education when I saw it. I thought it was interesting but then you find out that G Canada is a dirty shyster that a). Doesn't accept special needs kids and b) kicks kids out that are going to hurt his schools scores it lost all validity as a documentary for propping him up.

The union BS with the lemon dance and muck room in NYC schools did make me mad but the Charter schools stuff turned me off of the whole thing

Here lately I've been dealing with some kids at work that have transferred in from charter schools out west. I often have a very difficult time getting records from them, especially ones that have decent diagnostics on which to accurately judge a kid's placement. One had completely "gone out of business" and left a kid with no school records whatsoever for 3 years. Another was special education when he was in our school system previously but received no services at his charter school because they "didn't believe in that". And he was one of those kids that legitimately needed services for dyslexia.

That's not saying there aren't ones that work, but I'm glad Kentucky hasn't adopted them. They're no more of a solution then what we have right now.
