This article is befitting since I am working with a program with high schoolers and we are in a couple of charter schools. There was some overlap in the schools we work at and that were listed in the article so it hit close to home. I kinda found the article on a wim but I am interested in it, because I can feel that there are a lot of opinions floating around about charter schools.
\nApparently Detroit has the most charter schools in the country after New Orleans.
\nMy best friend went to a charter school in Lansing all throughout before high school and my older brother went to a charter school in Philadelphia so I have some connection to it, but I still don\u2019t funny get how they work, even after reading this article (and others) and its ok (?)because I get the main points. People suck and don\u2019t really care as much about student\u2019s education as they care about their bottom line. If there are more things that I should know and you can explain it in a simple way, let me know.
\nIt so interesting especially the movement of students in Detroit between schools. Once I went to Michigan and not accounting for a school change because one school shut down ( \uf04c ), I have stayed in the same public schools all throughout my educational career. Out of the like 4 (?) that I have talked to specifically about school have moved a lot, like once every year to a different school. I can\u2019t even conceptualize it. And I personally don\u2019t think it should be like this.
\nAlso the article talks about Excellent Schools Detroit which is where some other DCBRPers are interning at!
\nAnother DCBRPer talked about this article too, which should be even more incentive for you to read it and get your own opinion on it.<\/p>\n
