In the interest of efficency, education is being streamlined to its most elementary basics. The results provide the appearance of success. They have got the statistics to back up their claims. Remember I've told you numbers never lie cause they don't talk.
Here's what's happening folks. Now I've told you about the mathematical slieght of hand and some of the actuarial tricks employed to promolugate misperceptions. All hail the power of the subset. These statistical shenanigans serve this shell game of suppositions.
The plan would seem to me to court private investment serving as a portion of the start-up costs. Student selection is skewed to maximize results and believe me the results are real. The BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES mean behavior control, a control that can be focused on learning or BRAINWASHING. You see, learning is on a spectrum, it can be orderered or disordered.
The fact that put a heavy emphasis on character development is a GOOD thing. Our LEVEL 4 schools placed that same emphasis to help them get out of that status. We need to take away from these two empales that EDUCATION involves more than just digital, quantifiable pieces of data.
At first KIPP'S Kum-Ba-Ya notion of bringing everybody, public and private funding sources, together around the campfire to sing praise songs of cooperation may seem like the perfect panacea of perpetual prosperity. However, don't plan on them staying by the fire forever. They've got a date and I believe it is 2012 statewide.
If I read their brochure right my cataracts and akk that will hopefeully be a milestone year of 100% PUBLIC SUSTAINABILITY. Using my magic decoder ring, I translate that to mean the private plans to profit off the public. The end goal of school becomes profit not learning. Limits can then be put on learning lest you want to take away from their profit. It doesn't really matter who's name is on the door that is a flaw in the charter school model. It all boils down to who benefits the most and just what that benefit is.
