Plus I'm a teacher and a writer who talks a lot about these issues, so my followers grok my gripe.

Moreover, you pretty much mandate people don't talk about race & IQ, & that, coupled w/poverty, is a lot of my objection.

Also, it seems like IQ issues should be a factor in favor. If schools can't change lives, at least make them cheaper.

Vouchers will not scale. Nor will charters. And if public schools acknowledged IQ, they would be cheaper.

Govt things are forbidden from acknowledging *anything*. With charter schools, at least some principals can work on your lines.

No, they can't. What they do is argue that their superior results are superior instruction, & dump the rest.

..it's one of the reasons the middlebrows of mainstream casually assume public schools are broken. Which is seriously flawed

I never said in my article charter schools would improve test scores. I said they wouldn't double in price every few decades.

I know you said you were done, & I agree it's unwieldy. But I just wanted to point out one more thing.
