They just don’t want to include poor kids. Period.

Sounds like New Zealand is following the right wing idea of education. I would warn citizens there, that the U.S. education system, economic policy, and political climate is not worth following.

The point being that their only coherent approach to education is "people like us need more plaudits and people like THEM need fewer options"

I’d love to hear from a true sample of 20-30-year-olds re what worked and what didn’t work in their secondary schooling. Do we ever do that? Surely they’d have some relevant insights.

Charter schools are framed as "choice", but what kind of choice is it if the only school in town is a fundie madrasa, where other peoples' kids are indoctrinated on the taxpayer dime, & LGBT & non-Xtian kids are forced to conform or be denied any education?

American here, butting in, (as we do) just to flag that they are prolly just fascists, you can look at where all that defunding public schools nonsense gets you over here (it ain’t pretty)

applying market based solutions to education is going a lot of kids of a real education.

Charter schools are an American euphemism for “I don’t quite like the ‘other’ kids that go to the school that my kids have to go, so I’ll put them in a Charter school”
