Reply to comment by MaimedJester in Mad about book bans in school libraries? Philadelphia has a solution - no libraries at all! Only 7/217 schools have libraries for their kids. by youngbuck215

I worked in a charter school in south Philly. 1000% shady shit going on with funding.

Regardless of the money, we were cheating tests and bending rules to make our school scores look way better than they actually were.

When public schools die, so to will the middle class.

Yup. Charters suck you dry. That’s why rich districts don’t have them.

The owners of the charter schools also tend to have a separate company that packages curriculum, then uses the tax funding they siphon from the public school district to buy the curriculum packages from themselves.

Check out Vahan Gureghian and CSMI.
