Then why can't the state change those credentials?

One of the biggest improvements is giving schools the ability to handle discipline as needed. The state really handcuffs this and is threatening certain school districts funding over the amount of suspensions. Bad behavior staying in classrooms is a huge reason why many folks leave.

We have to pay teachers better to keep them in the classroom and find incentives for them. Schools need adequate teachers to limit class size. Especially in higher grades.

Schools need nurses, counselors, among other services to take those stresses off teachers and administrators. A teacher shouldn't be doing concussion evaluations when a kid bumps their head.

I appreciate your thoughts and think you have valid points in your other post above your reply to me.

I know you won’t like this but bureaucratic inertia is a big part of it. I’m as serious as I can be about this. “But we’ve always done it this way” is one of the hardest things for reformers to overcome. You can change the laws in Raleigh or Washington but that doesn’t change the mindset or practices of managers or hiring directors at the local level. They’ll default to “this is how we’ve done it for years and I know what to do” as opposed to “this is something new and I don’t want to take a chance of making a mistake”. I’ve seen it lots of times which is why I keep harping on doing things that operate outside the established bureaucracy.

You guys can dance around this issue all you want but people know why the state GOP is wanting more and more charter schools. It's all about getting God back into the schools. There is no place for religion in our public schools. Any religion.

I actually don't disagree with you

I agree Buzz. But I certainly don’t want any school, traditional public, charter or private, in charge of my children or grandchildren’s religious instruction. Talk about parental choice! What could be more personal than that? And whether I agree or not, it’s not my place (or anybody else’s) to judge other people’s religious choices.

We need God in our churches not in our school systems. As a taxpayer do I have a say which God the schools teach?

Not everyone believes in God or the same God as others and they have the right to religious liberty without your God being forced on them. That is indoctrination at it's finest.

Yet that’s an expense not required of charter schools.

So as we've mentioned which demographics would suffer by not having transportation to school?

We should also mention that private schools don't have to follow federal law, so that's Title IX, ADA, etc. Yet folks can't understand the dangers of pushing to hurt public schools and end the DOE.

Don't know about other charter schools but Millineum definitely has busses.

My God, we finally have something that we agree on!
