Charter Schools Play By A Different Set Of Rules

Charter schools do not have to use the new APPR teacher evaluation system on their teachers.

Charter schools get to grade their Regents exams in house.

Two different sets of rules and standards.

Remember that the next time the media or some politician compares charters to district schools.

  1. Private schools follow their own rules too. A boy's yeshiva in the 5 Towns area has one teacher mark an entire exam of kids in their school. While teachers don't mark their own exams (this is first time) they sit together and confer. No wonder everyone passes.

    1. There we have it again - two sets of standards. One for the elites, one for the rest of us.

  2. That's because charter schools are private schools that simply get public money. They aren't held accountable for anything.

    1. Totally true. It's a shame the corporate media refuses to expose this.
