In Arizona, a new online high school is returning remarkable profit: “This is worst case of a private citizen profiting from the actions of a non-profit organization imaginable. There is a charade going on in the charter school industry, both in Arizona and around the nation, that allows charter owners like Damian Creamer to control non-profit charter schools to enrich their for-profit subsidiaries – and themselves,” says Jim Hall, a retired educator, who started an organization called Arizonans for Charter School Accountability; he has a well-documented, horrifying story to tell about the defrauding of taxpayers. Apparently, good works mean less than good profits. " Our new Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is very enthusiastic about virtual charter schools, even though the research shows that students don’t learn much while enrolled in them."
