    It's school choice week!
    What's that? It's a week about giving parents and kids a choice of schools, so they aren't stuck in failing, government-run schools.
    John Stossel says amazing things happen at some of these alternatives. He visited one school where the kids like learning. Reading is "rockin' awesome," one kid tells John.
    That school was created by Eva Moskowitz. Her "Success Academy" now runs 46 charter schools that teach more than 15,000 students. As a charter, she has more freedom to innovate.
    Her school gets amazing results: 95% of kids pass the state math test, and 84% pass English. At all NYC government schools only 38% and 41% pass.
    Despite her success with kids, she receives nasty criticism. New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio shouts "it's time for Eva Moskowitz to stop having the run of the place!"
    Critics say that she only takes the best kids. But that's false. The kids are selected by a random lottery.
    Critics say she pushes difficult kids out of her school to increase her results. That's also false; her schools have a lower drop-out rate than public schools.
    John Stossel gives Success Academy, and school choice, an A!

      I am from Venezuela, in 1995 I did a research work on education in Venezuela, I was amazed, the Venezuelan government spent more money per student than the United States government, despite the fact that schools often do not have water or electricity and the didactic material is non-existent, investigating I found that 45% of the national education budget was destined to pay the payroll of officials of the Ministry of Education, only 10% of the budget was dedicated to the payment of active and retired teachers.

    “Kids rise to our expectations”. They have teachers that care and believe in their abilities.

      Derrick Thompson
      Very astute point that I knew Stossel would ignore. However, this only implies that it’s extremely difficult to do an apples to apples comparisons of performance.
      Choice and flexibility are still the strongest arguments for private schools. It is not the responsibility of private schools to fix all of society’s ills.
      The best thing about a growing private school system is that it segregates the dregs from the wine. If you care about your child’s education, there is a strong likelihood you will get them in a private school if your public school is poor. If you or your child don’t care, well, we can always spend more per capita on your student.
      Eventually, some public schools will shrink until we rename them as juvenile part-time detention centers.

      +Derrick Thompson Yes, good that you pointed that out. There's a straightforward test, however. Compare the performance of kids that won the lottery with those that lost. Conveniently, this has been done by Caroline Hoxby of Stanford. The results are positive for charter schools. I can't locate her original work, but here's an interesting article about charters that summarizes her findings.

    Here is the problem with public schools: The state and federal government controls the teacher with heavy regulations and guidelines. It has both the negatives of being politicized as well as unionized. At the moment the public school system is run more like a factory, there is a bell, there are instructions to follow, and that is it. Charter schools are mostly montessori. While public schools are mostly traditional. Each teacher has a preference and should be teaching a model that they are comfortable and enjoy doing. Very few teachers are good with the traditional method, it is boring for most and you can tell there is no life in the teacher.

    As someone who went to public school I’m very grateful to have gotten an education... but it made me suicidal and depressed. I was miserable and so were my friends none of us wanted to even go to class. I didn’t learn much, most of the things I learned were thanks to books and friends tutoring me. The teachers could care less, I begged my parents to be homeschooled. Public schools are a scam they don’t even provide the minimum. If you have children please homeschool or do literally anything else.

    I love my charter school but the retention rates are terrifying. In the middle school alone, in a 2 month period, 2-3 kids left in a single week. I don’t get it. They’re all like “pUbLiC iS bEtTeR” but they’re probably gonna get beat up or something. 4 of my closest friends were there on the beginning of 7th. By 8th grade, only a single person remained. Another kid was talking about a nearby public saying how a sink broke off the wall because of a kids head getting bashed into it (I think) Sure our principal isn’t the best but it’s still an awesome school.

      How does that increase parent involvement?

    And yet - five thousand ideologies are somehow more important?
    Of course - when the object of the game is to clone little activists.
    Um, I became a bit of an activist in my life (something started long ago and continued ever since) AFTER I got a liberal education. That decision was made in my own way and under my own terms. It required joining no organization, or any identity group other than the human race, the best (and by far most powerful) identity group of them all.
    Public schools are hardly "public" at all - in that they labor on outside of majority parental approval (and especially more so, if most parents actually knew and understood what they're up to).
    Education has been hijacked. By "experts" who wish to prevent it from actually happening.
    And they do this by bullying young and innocent children into submission. And if they fail to do that, well then, they just systematically turn the kids off. There are a lot of those. The ones that read at a grade three level - in grade eight. The ones who never catch up.
    I had a "troubled" childhood. What saved Me? Two things. Books. And a very real freedom to escape the oppression of adults and go out into the real world and discover what I was reading about. Those two things danced together well enough to set me straight.
    And if I could do it - almost anyone could. I'm Joe Average. Pleased to meet cha.

Clearly it is possible to turn out well while not being hit. Good parenting does not need to include physical harm.

    Here's my idea: encourage home education for those who are able to home educate, and for those who can't (such as the poor), replace the centralized government schooling system with a system made up of DEcentralised charter schools combined with school choice, with schools being made to respect individual student's rights as much as the government would have to in the real world, and have the people go for concepts such as the Waldorf and Montessori systems that not only respect the student's individuality but also actually fosters creativity and the real learning of actual, practical skills and knowledge.
    I have additional content, being a playlist called "Truth about school & education exposed, plus education reform, student's rights, & is school a waste of time?" (which is on my channel's homepage), and an article called "Ultimate education reform article list & video list. Problems with public education/schools, & how to fix them", the latter of which will be linked below.

      bis nik I guess it depends how you define "go out of their way." I went to a Catholic school here in New Orleans.. the best all girls school and second best over all in the metro area and maybe all of southern Louisiana, and I didn't get 85%-90% of teachers willing to go out of their way for me, a struggling student. Nonetheless, I learned a lot, and I'm ultimately incredibly grateful for my education, especially living in a city with horrific public school performance.. but somehow I expect that your estimates are a bit off. I could be wrong, of course.

    We sent our daughter to a charter school, it was terrible.

    Some do well because they get rid ofall of the special education children. Overall they don't do any better.

Charter schools are bad for our country. If you want' to have a private school you can pay for it yourself.

    It depends on what state we're talking about.

It's not a black and white issue. There do need to be some standards and oversight.

At the end of the day these schools cost more for the community their surving and the education level is about the same. I would like if government run schools would spend less on Sports and Art and just stick with education, if a kid wants to do what stuff then they or their parents should pay for it.

    Do some research on parent involvement with charter students vs parent involvement with public school students.

    If you can separate the bad kids (kids from mostly bad homes) and put them in a separate school tailor toward their needs, regular kids can thrive. This why charter schools outperformed many public non-charter schools. We need allow more school choice through vouchers and give more choice to the parents. The current public school system is not helping anyone.

    This is such bullshit. When corrupt politicians continually divert public resources from public schools to charters, how in the hell do you expect public schools to improve? In my opinion, public schools are being intentionally and systematically undermined by the charter movement and those who push it. Also, the biggest part of this story that no one on the charter side wants to talk about is that most poor kids don't have the option to attend a charter school. Fact is, Konst is exactly right, This particular school is an anecdotal example of a charter that performs well, but I can show you a dozen more that under-perform public schools, by far, while stealing resources from them. We need to be as devoted to fixing public schools as we are to demonizing them and stealing their resources. This is nothing short of theft, in my opinion, and is mostly affecting poor kids who are stuck in underfunded public schools, with no other choice.

      As for the question of why the kids appear to be of the African american descent. I assume that the communities were subject to extreme racial divide. Other parents or kids who wanted to live there felt they are left out that most of their kids cannot relate to the other kids. They might even be subjected to social stigma from other racist groups. In fear of their kids losing their future because of the class that they are with, they transfer far away only leaving the majority of the population if not all of them are the same characteristics.

It's fine to point out problems with charter schools, but let's not point to the worst among charters while ignoring the horrors of public schools. You point out how terrible it is for a charter to shut down mid-year, and that may well be true. The only thing worse I can think of is a violent and crime-ridden public school that refuses to die.

      The possibility of failure is essential for any good system. With your logic, why have schools at all. Just slap an A on a piece of paper with the kids name on it and call it a day. If we allowed the free market to thrive, third party certifications, insurance, and choice would evolve to weed out failure before it affected the consumers directly.
      So when we talk about private schools failing it begs the question "compared to what". No school at all is better than a government school, government school is worse than nothing.
