Charter schools...another neoliberal scam

Charter schools are another neoliberal scam. These "pseudo-public," for-profit schools show far worse performance than public schools when evaluated on an "apples-to-apples" basis. (Hint: charter schools can select students whereas public schools must accept all kids in that zone.)

It's the same, neoliberal profit scam that businesses use, that is, pay workers (teachers) less, make them do more, funnel more of the income to the top, fraudulently gin up the performance statistics (like the widely used accounting control frauds used by banks and Wall Street) and strip money and resources (equipment, physical space) from public schools (privatizations).

No wonder Wall Streeters here in Manhattan love to send their kids to these schools. It's a private school on the public dime. Carl Icahn and other big hedge fund guys back NY Governor Andrew Cuomo with big $$$ to keep expanding these schools and sucking the NYC public school system dry.

What a fucking scam.
