Teachers Unions Push Cap on Charter Schools in California
This is what I’m talking about when I say unions use their very own style of top-down politics:
The California Assembly passed a new cap on the number of charter schools – a bill sponsored by the California Federation of Teachers – and the recent United Federation of Teachers lawsuit would prevent the Upper West Success Academy charter school from moving to a public school campus.
The California state Assembly will limit the number of charters to 1,450 by 2017, assuming the Senate goes along for the ride. I don’t understand this. If people want to send their kids to a charter school, what right does the state have to intervene?
This is why data on charter school success is ultimately inconclusive. How can we know whether or not the best
