Weekly Update: The KIPP charter school hustle, eight year olds grading their teachers in Georgia and more on Bill Gates
The Weekly Update: News you might have missed.
With Initiative 1240, the charter school initiative backed by Bill Gates who has provided $1M to the cause, looking like it will be appearing on the ballot this fall, more folks are starting to talk about charter schools in our state.
Fortunately the word so far is that most people don’t want charter schools, just like the last three times it was voted on in a general election. Folks in our state want their schools to be adequately funded. Period.
Someone sent me this comment that was posted on the Seattle Schools Community Forum that brings it home
