Alabama Welcomes For-Profit K12 Online School to Suck $$ Out of Its Underfunded Public Schools
Alabama needs to fund its public schools properly but instead it is opening dubious charters and now a for-profit K12 Inc. online virtual school.
K12 makes a lot of profit but gets awful results. Low graduation rates, low participation, low teacher salaries. Just what a state would not want if it actually wanted to improve education.
Online virtual for-profit charter schools are the bottom feeders of the education industry. Even Reformer-Disrupters despise them.
Kevin Huffman (ex-husband of Michelle Rhee) was Commissioner of Education in Tennessee. He recognized that the Tennessee Virtual Academy was the worst School in the state. He tried to close it. He couldn’t.
Politics. Money.
