@CoryBooker For inner city kids, they already are. Charters can't take them all. Many parents can't/won't go through process. -

@CoryBooker Often not even random. Usually reqs a guardian to sign you up. That reqs resources, time, no lang obstacles.

@CoryBooker@jenansbach charters work if they offer a different method than the public system. Otherwise, they're just for the privileged. -
@KevinFTBoyle If charters req a guardian to register a child separate from PS, they are for the privileged.
-
@JenAnsbach but I agree with you. Right now, they just serve as an escape for those able to afford it. -
@KevinFTBoyle Or who have guardians with the ability/interest to register them. So many kids left out of process.

@CoryBooker@JenAnsbach go take a look at the Robert Treat School.... That place is really something. -
@sansone07 I don't doubt that there are places with great things happening. It just doesn't happen for all of Newark's children.

@CoryBooker@JenAnsbach don't see where she said charters=bad. They do restrict access though. -
@Teacherlhs@CoryBooker That's because I didn't say it. I said it isn't fair to all.

@srfuller@CoryBooker I'm not saying charters are bad. I'm saying they aren't open to all, by definition. They are for the selected.

@CoryBooker@JenAnsbach We can't abandon our public schools for charters. In LA, charters are taking over precious public school space. -
@leeleepitts@CoryBooker And, I bet that not all kids can go to charters because access is restricted. Registration, lotteries... -
@JenAnsbach@CoryBooker And $$. Parents can "sponsor" the school and move up the lottery. Charters aren't bad news but aren't our saviors.
