10. About 10% of charters are run by EMCs

Edited on Thu May-19-11 11:15 AM by Recursion

The rest are doing what they are supposed to do, letting teachers teach. As much as the teacher corps here complains about the stupidity of district administration, you'd think they would show more love for a system that lets them remain in public schools while escaping some from the district's micromanagement.

(Yes, more charters should unionize: the Chicago teachers' union managed to start several charters, which is probably the way to do that.)

Also, there's no such thing as a "for-profit charter school". Period. Some of the EMCs are for-profit (too many), but not the schools, and the incidence of EMCs is overstated here.
