A comment on the Espada Charter School video
This video is an example of the havoc the policies of U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan have caused in state government across the nation , requiring school districts across the country to create conditions for the development of charter schools in order to privatize and turn them over to investors who view them as a great "cash flow." Ironically, charter schools were created by educators for experimentation and innovation and to bring back the ideas to the schools so all children benefit from the experiment. That is not what they have become today. Charter schools do have a role to play in the American public school system and as a wake up call to dysfunctional public schools or the so called diploma mills that graduate inner city students ill prepared for the work force or higher education.
