Furious parents: Demanding NYC schools that work-50% of Top Performing Public Schools For Minorities are Charter Schools

The New York Post reports:

In educational conversation, when you mention the words “charter schools,” people tend to either love them or hate them. Unfortunately, either way, the handwriting is on the smart board.

A recent survey found only 46 of 925 high-poverty New York City public schools, where most students are minorities, had even a meager 50 percent passing rate.

That in itself is a big story, but the bigger story here is that of the 46 schools, 23 were charters.

Of course, the United Federation of Teachers and UFT-funded parent groups are screaming foul. They say that charters can be selective in their student population by returning nonperforming students back into the regular school system.

The education cartel isn't concerned about good schools, just being a greedy rent-seeking monster.
