The process is called 'innovate or die' to solve just about any problem that arises in our society, and what a great illustration of this fact is the Charter School innovation.
Now with the celebration of Charter School week, it is appropriate to understand why Charter Schools,Vouchers and private schools have become the schools of choice. The reason is simple, public education does not educate, public schools in many cases fail to fulfill their mandate to prepare students for the larger world to achieve success and they fail the taxpayers and the community they serve.
But the public school system has many old and harden historical ways of doing things and to make the necessary changes in it's systems to become competitive and viable, the old and secure ways of doing things, becomes nearly impossible.
The result is failure to deliver and the consequences are extinction.
NSCW 2016! Dallas ISD Charter School Fight
By Lloyd Bentsen IV
A routine zoning change led to a showdown in South Dallas yesterday with city officials split on approving a charter school in the area. Those against the charter school called it “siphoning” students from the public schools, even comparing it to “rape”. However, many local residents are in favor of the charter school. Also, charter schools offer an alternative for many students who find that the one-size-fits-all design of the public school system does not work for them.
The 7-6 vote in favor of the charter school, unfortunately shows how even during National School Choice Week, there is still plenty of unnecessary opposition to school choice.
