| Ravitch offers you a glimpse of what she has uncovered, the scam of the Charter schools, as she documents on her site, the corruption that has enriched charlatans and ended our INSTITUTION f public education. Ravitch notes: "Over the past few years, we have seen countless charter scams and frauds. This should not be surprising. When you deregulate a public service and give public money to non-educators to run schools without supervision or accountability, this is what you get. Here is a prime example, This post" was written and sent to me by Dr. Mitchell Robinson, an optometrist in Michigan decided he had a new method of learning, which he called "Integrative Visual Learning." "What's missing here is any description of how children learn. How does this "test" help teachers adapt instruction? What happens when a child's eyes don't zig zag? Are they taught differently, or just not admitted to the school? "Um, not so much"according to another teacher: "There was NO room in the school specifically for IVL testing. There may have been equipment, but kids were never observed for vision. The IVL methods were taught to all kids, because Ingersoll made the staff do it; middle school and high school as well. Even the Special Education teachers had to teach it. which meant critical standards were not met." Another Magic elixir as I write at my series here " no Evidence required," for a charter school to spend taxpayer money to enrich private interests. Don't Miss this one! |
