Another Research Study Showing KIPP's Large Funding Advantages, Both Public and Private
It's no secret that the segregated KIPP testing camps have been viewed as the final urban education solution ever since Feinberg and Levin trotted out a group behaviorally-altered and culturally-scrubbed children onto the stage at the National Republican Convention in 2000.
Just as white philanthropists of the early 20th Century eagerly supported the learning chain gangs of the industrial training schools that began with Hampton and Tuskegee (documented by James Anderson), modern day philanthrocapitalists (Fisher, Gates, Broad, Waltons) came knocking on KIPP's corporate door with bags of tax-sheltered cash, following the KIPPster performance in 2000.

. . . .The Department of Education last year awarded KIPP a $50 million grant to finance its growth.
In the study, “What Makes KIPP Work? A Study of Student Characteristics, Attrition and School Finance,” Gary Miron and two other Western Michigan researchers note that KIPP’s academic achievements have been well-documented in previous research.
