"Charter schools are just the latest in a long line of get-rich-quick-schemes in the Sunshine State.

 FEE’s Floridian roots do have one undeniable pedagogic function: they make the blatant hucksterism at the heart of the education reform movement much harder to deny. Florida, after all, has played host to more grand swindles than any other state. Charter schools, which are publicly funded but privately run, are just the latest in a long line of get-rich-quick-schemes in the Sunshine State. Beneath today’s noble-sounding buzzwords—achievement, excellence, twenty-first-century skills—are the same murky land development deals, Republican politics, and taxpayer money that have become as emblematic of the Florida landscape as alligators and swimming pools."

The above taken from a great 2014 article: JebFest: The Education Miracle That Isn’t

Pretty much sums the whole Charter Schools game up, and it isn't getting any better.

Or how about this article from SeattleEducation2010 that was posted in 2012: Florida charter schools and the lack of oversight . It reinforces the problems that have been ongoing for a VERY LONG TIME here is Florida.

It's all out there for us to find folks. Not just articles, but FACTS. Research the names, the companies, and the schools. You will be appalled at where your tax dollars are going.

This isn't just about assholes or parking. That's just what started it. And the people who defend the stuff I am discovering should be ashamed.
