Reason 2,893 Why NOT to Hire a Broad Academy "Graduate"

Look no further than the mess in Chicago and the mess of a superintendent by the name of Jean-Claude Brizard. He is openly favorable to privatizing the district.

I don't think he will succeed given how strong the union is is.

Charters are far more often than not worse than traditional public schools, so they are a waste of money and shouldn't even exist. You want to form a school, fine. Just don't use taxpayer dollars and provide no accountability to voters on how the money is spent.

But critics — prominent among them the Chicago Teachers Union — say the growth of charters signals the decline of CPS-run neighborhood schools. Additionally, state report card data released last fall suggested many charters in Chicago are performing no better than some of the same neighborhood schools. More than two dozen charters scored below district averages.

Despite the truth, the privatizers continue on their mission because they want to make money by ripping off taxpayers.
