The chance to submit your opposition to Charter Schools closes this Thursday 24 January.
Our country’s teaching professionals are pretty much united in opposition to Charter Schools – where they have been tried overseas they are seeing (as with National Standards) a decline in relative educational outcomes. That is: systems that were behind us are falling further back.
So the PPTA and the NZEI are urging you to make your opposition known. An easy submission form has been set up, or you can follow how to make your own more detailed submission.
If you want to read a good article on the subject, on the Wall Street Journal Diane Ravitch – formerly a strong proponent of national testing as well as charter schools – explains why those policies are failing the USA.
Do you want an unqualified teacher teaching your kids? Do you want public schools to become ghettos between publicly-funded but essentially private charter schools who can pick and choose their students? If not, submit now!
