    It's a system designed to segregate access to public spending. Redline housing, then limit school funding to the money raised in certain neighborhoods, then scare people into their ethnic enclaves by complaining about how brown people ruin social services.

    Charter schools are all about privatizing educational funding. But it will take us in the opposite direction. One-size-fits-all profit driven education, where you P2W for class rank and GPA.

      I said this as someone working in a public school. We have a charter school next door that doesn’t take in any refugees from the nearby camps because they have never applied. Refugees of course take up more resources, even in the ideal case where they adapter culturally and have no emotionalismens trauma. Just translators alone are a significant expenditure, and charter schools working to segregate everything further is a very real and current problem for me. Everything is fair on paper. Every student gets the same amount of money from the municipality. A real school will never be able to compete with one that gets to select its students for using less resources.

      Ok, rant over.
