    This kind of churn in charter schools ought to be treated as human experimentation.https://twitter.com/jeffbcdm/status/921349746601725959 …

        Really common. A lot of major (legit) charters won't open in detroit bc of the fly-by-night schools.

        Yeah, I know: really bad in MI. Even just Muskegon Heights should be enough to end use of Charters already.

        It's embarrassing that we'd treat our kids in this manner.

        Reason I want it treated as human experimentation is bc I think it's worse than embarrassing. We're fucking w/these kids development.

        It entirely is. The people behind this movement in Mi are clueless about education and in the meantime defunded our great PS system.

        It's honestly like they think what made michigan great originally was Tax Cuts, not the great public schools. Fools.

        And unlike w/ other experiments, when educational experiments fail there's no "fix" for that; the test groups of kids don't get do-overs.

        Bingo. You fiddle with 2 years of their educational progress and they'll never get that back.

        The Newark and Jersey City public school systems have been subjected to this for nearly 20 years. Glad people are finally paying attention.

        Florida & @FLGovScott = huge fans of charter schools. Our tax $$ are being redirected & there is no standard for the schools. It’s unreal.
