What is wrong with charter schools? They are chances for gifted students to strive. It is a place for students who would be bored in a public school to learn. It is for the free thinkers and innovators of the future, and I only wish my parents had given me the option to go to one. I think why much of America hates charter schools is because they do not provide equal opportunities to all children. A child at a charter school will be more likely to receive a meaningful education than one at a public school because they are not tethered to the bogus education laws in place. This puts many children at a disadvantage, and thus the monumental hate of charter schools is erected. My thoughts are this: if you actually care about education, and not about numbers, you will find charter schools an amazing opportunity. Only the figure-crazed portion of America (and let's face it, it is a very hefty piece) would dislike an education in which you actually are allowed to learn. It goes back to the banking concept; those who are going to learn will learn, and those who would rather fill themselves with useless information will do so. Also, one thing about banking, I believe it is ultimately the student's decision whether or not they actually learn something. There are so many resources out there that allow anybody to learn anything, which is why I believe that charter schools are good. The public school student must find the resources of actual knowledge on their own, while a charter school delivers them to the student. Just because they are receiving a great education doesn't mean you should be mad at them.
"A 2009 study from Stanford University’s Center for Research on Education Outcomes found that 37 percent of charter schools performed worse on student test measures than their traditional counterparts. Given that data, closure rates should clearly be higher." Wow that made me mad.If you hate charter schools so much, why don't you go around burning them? Just because it scored lower than a public school doesn't mean that it is worse. I won't reveal it here, but I have a great philosophy on this. Coming soon. I would bet that if you talked to some of the charter students, they would be brighter and more personable than the average public school student. You are not your numbers.
The author (unnamed, probably because he was too ashamed to post a name to it) is stupid. He uses backwards logic and fallacies to "support" his opinions on charter schools. Not to mention it really ticked me off. He relied heavily on ethos and allowed himself to get inflamed about charter schools. There were some logos present, but I don't agree with it. I could see the average mind agreeing with it, however. Don't even bother reading this garbage.
