'Regulations vary widely from state to state, so “charter school” is more an umbrella term than a specific school structure. Across this broad spectrum, there are numerous examples of both high-performing schools and mismanaged, profit-driven failures. Advocates and opponents of charter schools are quick to cherry-pick from either extreme, trying to characterize them as wholly good or bad. But neither side can extend these anecdotes to the overall system.'
Minnesota, the birthplace of charter schools, needs to lead the way on reforming them
Too often, charter schools are highly segregated, underperform academically and employ underpaid educators

@jeffowski Now do #Math and #Chemistry teachers, too!
Maybe the decades long drop of standardized PISA test scores for students in #American #PublicSchools should be cause for alarm? 🤔
There’s a *reason* #Trump famously said “I *love* the poorly educated!” after he won his first primary during the #2016election in #Nevada. https://youtu.be/O9F6EAMPky4

Texas can force schools to post Ten Commandments, federal appeals court rules~
Even though the Supreme Court ruled in 1980 that the displaying of the Ten Commandments in public schools was unconstitutional.

One year ago, the #Trump admin gutted the #Education Department’s Office of #EnglishLanguage Acquisition, which is supposed to help about 5 million students in #PublicSchools “attain English proficiency & achieve academic success.”
By “gutted,” I mean cut 14 of the 15 staff positions in that office. Now the department has given #Congress official notice that it plans to dissolve the office entirely.

"The weakening of public schools and the devaluing of teachers and the dismissal of the Liberal Arts are part of a deliberate effort to reshape America into a place where fewer people can think critically or organize collectively or question the power of those in power."

A student at his Little League game. 1977. I hope for a future in which gay people are accepted as teachers, and homophobes are not. #education #publiceducation #homophobia #bigotry #bigotryiswrong #endbigotry #student #students #littleleague #school #publicschool #publicschools #sports #exercise #goodhealth #1970s #twentiethcentury #civilrights

#PublicEducation in red-state #Idaho:
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/us/idaho-education-republican-rift.htmlFrom Julie Yamamoto, retired teacher and former Republican rep from Idaho, defeated by a more conservative Republican:
“We’ve experienced this huge shift, from believing that the #PublicSchools were a bastion of our democratic republic…to believing we shouldn’t give them any money at all. And it’s happened so quickly."
