The Big Sleazy: All-Charter “Achievement Districts”

The Big Sleazy:
All-Charter “Achievement Districts”


After battling shamelessly for 20 years, SC policymakers are under court-order to do“something” for our poorest students.

Momentum is building to turn SC kids over to parasitic charter chains as part of a statewide “ACHIEVEMENT DISTRICT”, like the one in New Orleans.

Once you:

  • CLOSE neighborhood schools
  • FIRE thousands of career teachers & replace them with untrained temps
  •  FORCE kids into charter school chains


Closing the ACHIEVEMENT GAP is actually CHEAP & EASY!!!

Let free-markets do the work!

Many of these charter chains are overtly for-profit, while others pay exorbitant rentsand fees to partner” corporations.

 

Now, who would fall for such horse puckey?

Anybody desperate for a cheap, easy fix.


Egged on by corporate-funded Astroturf groups like Michelle Rhee’s StudentsFirst, some have grown sweet on the idea of an all-charter system built on temp labor that replaces democratically-controlled public schools.


Tell policymakers to reject this gift to privatized McSchools:
