One of the pieces of this whole charter school politics that is so interesting is the lengths the money hungry charter school supporters are willing to go to in trying to get their way.
The more tactics are tried the more easily the underlying unsavory goals are seen by even more people.
The not-so-well-meaning people who have years of history getting by with political tricks have suddenly lost their footing. That must come as something of a surprise. So successful in the past, but now, not so much.
Being vague, outright lies, manipulations using surveys. The more these people try to put into place the more they are failing.
The more regular people are finding out what other parents think about things like Standardized Testing, Charter Schools and the movement to privatize education the stronger the opposition to all the nonsense is getting.
I did have some action steps I was going to take (and I may still) but one of the things I'm going to be able to do soon is simply step out of the way. These people are doing an excellent job of crushing themselves.
Isn't that interesting. There must be a name for this sort of phenomenon that I just don't know right now.
I may again soon be able to focus on the one on one trying to be helpful to individual parents with dyslexic children rather than feeling like I need to stick up for public schooling, public schoolteachers and the children who are subjected to all these ridiculous laws.
