- Low-income minority students from one chain of NYC charter schools rank #1 in my state in math.
Why do they do so well? Because school leaders have high expectations. And unlike government run schools, Success Academy innovates!

School days are longer and all students take advanced tests.
100% of their graduates get accepted into college.
“That is redefining American public education,” says Chief Schooling Officer LaMae de Jongh.
Success Academy wants to offer its magic to more kids, but they’re blocked by progressive politicians and the Teachers Union. Neither want competition.
That means most kids are stuck with lousy government schools.
"I feel like it's unfair that not everybody gets this opportunity," says one Success student.
He's right. All Americans should be able to choose a better school.
"Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation." - George Carlin
That works right up until you realize that so many of the machines have gone overseas, and today's American workforce needs to be able to think, create, and make decisions. Even in the trades, these kinds of skills are needed.
@@rosc2022 Not anymore, thank you chatgpt.
He was absolutely right.
George Carlin was way ahead of the curve. The government wants emotional people who don't have the ability to use reason and evidence as well as question the system; This is why police departments only hire people based on an upper threshold for Intelligence.
@@rosc2022that’s a load of bullshit. Even in the post 9/11 era many people stayed home compared to those in the pre-1960’s.
Seeing a child cry because he has to go to public school is so revealing.
The public school system is a joke and is nothing but a structured zoo. I put up with that shit my entire life. I will not subject my kids to that nonsense,
One does have to consider the influence of the parent(s).
Children can easily be conditioned to like/want or dislike/lament anything, pretty much.
@@AndrooUKin nyc it’s dangerous to go to school

The Teacher's Union is for teachers. Not for students.
I'm going to have to disagree with you. The Teachers Union is for the union leaders, not the teachers. A very long time ago one of my best buddies was a union official for his company (not teachers union). He bragged about the perks and such afforded to him and the other officials.
Teacher unions are a way to enslave teachers to government
Charlie, well if you’re still in touch with him maybe we can get an answer as to why public schools are pushing DEI, LGBTQ, and gender ideology?
@@charliej8606 thats every union buddy. they served their purpose 100 years ago when workers had no rights. now its time to go the way of the dodo with those crooks
The teacher's union is one of the most powerful unions in the nation. They are big in membership and money. A lot of money goes to the Democrats party.
That poor kid looking on as his Mom screamed like a deranged lunatic about *checks notes* her Son having opportunities to succeed. I feel sad for that boy.
Not only will he never see the inside of a good school but he has to live with *that* for his entire childhood.
LIKE a deranged lunatic??? She IS a deranged lunatic.
Think we all notics that !
Don't worry. She's not thinking about him. He'll get used to it.
@@lancemcque1459 So true. Selfish, activist parents are a cancer.
Government thinks kids who are well educated and think for themselves are a THREAT .
Exactly
Exactly, which is why the system we have is based on the Prussian school system. Designed not for the good of the people, but to create uncritical and obedient drones.
I think the education system would see much improvement if it were privatised.
Thinks? They know that, they don't just think it. It's a fact.
"I love the poorly educated." - DJT
And they are right. Socialism is a race to the bottom.
These teachers unions should be stopped. They are a teachers union and not a secret ministry for education.
Yea, you can tell some teachers just want to cruise but others became teachers because they actually want their kids to succeed.
I value the union as my parents are teachers and without it they would not get Health insurance, a pention, fair pay, general protections
This, this is how to combat discrimination of the past. Not diversity quota, but providing a good quality education for low income family. I hope the best for all of them.
Facts, It is the only way to build to a better future, Educate kids to succeed.
One problem is cultural. Black student are taught that school is not cool. What is cool is basket ball, rap music, twerking and black males carrying guns. White students study just enough to get by, and asian students study to master the subject.
Imagine a State Governor stating that Black children don't know what a computer is?
Shows how out of touch Hochul is.
Please attend a charter school. "Imagine" is not a question, "state governor" is not supposed to be capitalized and neither is "black."
Correct sentence: Imagine a state governor* stating that black* children don't know what a computer is.*
@@SalvableRuin Mid sentence capitalization has a long history going back at least a couple hundred years but these days RUclips supports at least some AsciiDoc. Say like: "Imagine a _state governor_ stating that _black_ children don't know what a computer is?" or "Imagine a *state governor* stating that *black* children don't know what a computer is?"
@@SalvableRuinMaybe they would have if Democrats thought it was more important to:
- Allow School Choice for All parents and their children instead of taking the "donations" (aka bribes) from educational unions
- Stop trying to cockblock competitive schools, programs, and courses to pretend that their failing schools and ideologies don't suck
- Get out the way. The selfish bitches would Move and get out the way. Just get out the way. Seriously, get out the way
But, vampires love blood too much
Oh wait. No need to imagine... Hochul actually said that. That's really what she thinks of black people.
Imagine a white woman telling poor black families "You dont need more choice"
you dont need imagine it... the left does it every day.
"There's enough choice already!"
I have no clue wtf she was talking about. You're literally assigned your school district by what neighborhood you live in; that's not a choice!!!
ANY FAMILY
@@humbughumbughumbug Most Rep states as far as I know have school choice. I know we do where I live. Have for years now.
@@AvalonDreamz that's crazy to me. Obvious what state I live in politically, and the unions purposely lock you into the school by where you live. Literally protects their jobs because they're guaranteed a body of students and therefore tax dollars.
If you have a teacher or administrator that hates your kids or you, then you have no choice; the teachers union will destroy your child's life with falsely bad grades and constant punishment and probably sending CPS to your home.
The obvious answer is to change the school district but that requires selling your home and buying another one that's more expensive.
That's why home buying web sites had reviews for school districts for the home (although I can't find that data on Realtor anymore!) which made homes more expensive for good schools and really cheap for bad ones.
We need a Success Academy in every major city not just New York
The thing about charter school is that it mostly for the middle class and rich. It cost way too much yearly to attend. Poor people can’t afford that unless the government is going to pay for every poor student. The solution is not more capitalist education. The solution is to make social list education just as good as charter schools. But they need to put more money in public school
@@brandonjablasone7544charter schools are not private schools, you don’t pay to attens

My niece goes to a charter school in Minneapolis, she speaks Mandarin and is in advanced every subject. So Teachers Unions are just dead wrong
I agree! They're really bad and they're run by really bad people.
Wow! Mandarin! That is incredible! Teacher's Union is just plain evil! To deny this type of reality is insanity
Yinghua academy?
its sad that the union mafia does that to large cities. i learned mandarin in public high school.
Not just teachers unions but all unions, socialism at its finest.
I weep for the millions of children trapped in lousy government schools run for to benefit the teachers, unions, bureaucrats, and politicians.
It´s the parent´s fault they are not building utopia with comrades in there, they want the evils of capitalism.
Vote out the Democrats.
Democrats = Corruption + Failure
And what are you going to do about it? Democracy a joke and privatization of education isn't solving the the problem it's deflecting the issue. Our education system and the need to change it show that democracy is a horrible way to address this issue, just look at how many people is going to disagree with me that's the point.
@LockheedMartinEnjoyer , what are you talking about?
Privatization is producing the best results. It is being shut down, limited through legislation and attacked by Democrats constantly to prevent their precious teachers' unions from losing power.
Your argument is actually that Democrats are effective in destroying private sector effectiveness with corruption.
Get some objectivity.
@LockheedMartinEnjoyer did they say they were going to do anything about it?
These children who don’t win the lottery are trapped in an epic failing public school system. It breaks my heart to see them crying when they don’t win a fantastic education.
Seeing that was the saddest part of this video.
I literally cried myself.
Nobody is stopping their parents from homeschooling them. Homeschooled children are some of our nation's best and brightest young scholars.
Disappointing yes but the answer to that question is NO. Here is the difference. These kids obviously have a parent or parents which care about their education. As such, they will learn to read and write in public school and will probably go and lead productful lives. The school is important sure but no so much if you do not go to one the child's life is ruined.
@@freeinghumanitynow Their parents likely can't afford to quit their jobs to do that.
Hmmm, I got two things from this video:
1) the federal Department of Education needs to be abolished.
2) teacher’s unions should be abolished.
Exactly
I tip my hat the these parents for trying so hard to get their kids into the better schools.
If government schools produced better results, they wouldn't have to worry about their budget "shrinking".
True
Neighborhood schools paid for and supervised by parents made America great. When the government took over, schools, and America, slowly declined. When the unions took over, American education fell off a cliff.
None of the money they receive gets invested into the students anyway.
Hell, I'm pretty sure that they keep the quality of their "education" low so that they can ask for more funding as if that's going to do any good.
This kind of thing creates perverse incentives.
Government is the only employment sector where you can fail upwards with higher positions, pay, benefits, and budgets
@@mattgayda2840 It almost seems like the ones who fail the most are rewarded the most.
Saying charter schools take money from government schools isn't wrong, it's propaganda.
yep, I guessing non union screen out the bad one and the union end up with them. it is a union busting scheme that all it is although I'm not saying the school are run right.
You got it in one… follow the money.
Charter schools take money from public school. That is a fact. Stosel showed you a graph showing their rate of success with less funding, which only showed half of the equation and left out half of charter schools funding. The graph intentionally mislead. That’s propaganda
Propaganda does not mean untrue.
I believe you meant to say something like, "... isn't just wrong, it's the opposite of truth."
All the best propaganda is true. It is far more convincing that way. Propaganda is only wrong when they lie and/or it is used to harm rather than benefit a population. However, that is subjective enough that there can be a debate about every message from the government. I would imagine their score would be around 60% good, 40% bad. Or a D-. Government got about 0% right during COVID so their score is getting worse.
Precisely. The default position is that govt is entitled to your education dollars, while simultaneously failing their students.
When I was a kid in the 80's I got to take some extra curricular courses at a charter school. They were AWESOME! But, so was the govt. run school AT THE TIME.
Today, public education has become SO BLOATED and MISDIRECTED that it is just another 'black hole' of spending and waste. Charter schools perform HIGHER, and their cost (spending) is LOWER. And students actually ENJOY learning. The Charter schools are making public schools look bad. If public schools look bad they lose enrollment, which means they lose funding, which means they can no longer be used to justify and waste HUGE budgets, to perpetuate the myth that big government is required for success.
Truth.
Public School administration is very corrupt
@@able34bravo37 sort of @0:42 S|A blows charter schools out of the water too... why?
This is the real no child left behind.
The public school system believes in no child's behind left alone. Sick.

The public schools have moved to a No Child Allowed Ahead philosophy.
Exactly. The public school system just doesn't work for a lot of kids. It didn't work for me, but homeschooling and alternative school and going to schools in my group homes did. My grades were amazing in those schools, not so much public school.

Charter schools who perform badly should go under. Government schools who perform badly should also go under.
Bad charter schools should be FIXED. Give up on the public schools.
This ends up just putting more focus on things like graduation rates and test scores than actual learning.
@@sergel02 thats a good point, i guess thats partly why public schools are the way they are
But this is a problem with no matter what system you have. There will be failing schools because there are several charter schools that are literally the opposite of this school. They kick students out. Who fail instead of helping them. Then the kids are so far behind they can't enroll back into a program at the right level.
I feel like people are trying to rain the school systems, which either way, if you're not doing right by your kids at home, there's nothing that a charter school or a government school is going to do to fix your kids@@sergel02
@@ljprep6250public schools can be good… if people actually know how to run them.
Look at their attitude. Look at their dress and mannerisms. That’s what our government fears.
Let me pose this question: if we can shop for everything in America…why can’t we shop
For a better form of government?
The most important thing for the democrats in charge is to look like they care about their poor citizens. The last thing they want is actual success for those same people. If people can think for themselves they can take care of themselves and then they don't need the government to take care of them. If they don't need government to take care of them, they are less likely to vote for democrats.
Well said!
To reference a common saying, they don't want people to learn how to fish, they want government to give them their fish every day, so that come election time they can scare the people with "My Republican opponent would take your fish away, and you would starve".
thats why their motto is "vote blue no matter who". its literally "don't think about it, just vote for us"
Yep... demos r up to their old tricks of trying to keep ppl uneducated!🤦🏾♀️
Bingo!
"But we have our eyes on the prize." Absolutely spot on; truly educated kids are the prize that can lift a country up by its bootstraps, so to speak.
This country was and is built on bootstrappers. The railroads in the Sierra would not have been built if it wasn’t for the Chinese saying I know we can, when the Anglos believed in themselves in that they can’t.
My kids (2 boys and a girl) went to the Pembroke Pines Charter School System. They all passed the AP exams. All Ivy League Universities and beyond called them and accepted them. They ended up graduating at Carnegie Mellon and the University of Texas. All engineers. Masters in Material Sciences and Electrical. Thank you, Mr. Stossel.
This is exactly how schools should be. Every Public school should be taking notes.
Thanks to teachers unions for their harm to our entire society.
Teacher's unions care about one thing...and one thing only: more and more and more money for teachers.
It's way past time to take a good hard look at teachers' unions. Teachers DO need a voice, but the huge investment the unions have in politics has turned into a conflict of interest. They are nurturing a system, through their political contributions, that actually puts teachers' lives in danger in some locations.
Way to get around the old spoils system as a way of generating political funding.
@@TeddyRumbleJust one other thing. Perpetuating themselves to ensure the competition never gets passed square one.
...and democrats, and the media...
Nope, not the unions fault, it's the teachers fault for joining and paying union dues.
Last year I homeschooled one, drove one back and forth to a private school. My husband is a blue collar worker and he works long hours, and we budget money for our kids educational needs. They are too precious to send to the public schools. Whatever it takes, we will do it!
I know that money is short, but never, never, let your children to attend public schools.
No child deserves this kind of torture.
Congrats, your hard work will pay off.
That is GREAT parenting ❤
As a teacher I agree competition is the key. It's exactly why I teach in another country now. The parents are much better than American parents. Better parents do exist. Competition !
Competition is the key to most things. Because it means that people are constantly striving for excellence, competition produces both higher quality good and services and over times makes them cheaper.
Yeah. If there's something teachers really want more than higher paychecks (which is the narrative told by unions), is for the parents to be parents.
Yup, I have several family members who are teachers in the public schools and they all say many of the kids are from broken families. Kids with families that care and have the means either home school or send their kids to a private school, that's pretty much the norm here in MA which is saying something since MA is rated number one for public schooling. Unfortunately, if you don't have the means to homeschool or afford private school you have to deal with the public schools since MA doesn't allow for school choice to be used for any schools outside of the public schools.
Stop blaming parents. We are running as fast as we can to get away from you teachers. 5.5 million home schoolers our kids rank in the top 20% of the nation and graduate with real degrees and our kids are not on drugs, alcohol or sex confused.
@@stephenstafford3238 I'm a huge fan of home schooling. Anything that gets the kids away from the Bill and Melinda Gates indoctrination centers. More power to ya! Agreed. Homeschool is often better than public school.

The teachers union tried shutting down charter schools in Detroit because parents were pulling their kids out of Detroit schools.
My daughter went from attending a dumpy, falling apart Detroit school to a nice and clean charter school with teachers that showed they cared about their students and also, unlike the snooty Detroit teachers, would always talk to parents with respect and answer our questions and concerns.
Down with teacher unuions. Bloated and no longer serving its original purpose.
Do they teach how bad white people are in those charter schools?
God bless the parents whose kids were admitted to Success Academy -- and bless the parents who tried to have their kids admitted. They're good parents. If only the New York government and the teachers' unions cared even half as much about the kids.
There is MORE than enough government Pork floating around to give each and every one of these kids a Quality Education! Shame on the government!!
Teachers unions are not and never have been about student success, they're about dues paid by teachers.

I actually teared up when the little kid says "maybe may name's gonna come next time". We need to do this for all Americans and ditch public education.
Yeah, that was heartbreaking. Hopefully someone will be able to help that kid and all the other ones we didn’t see that have the same need but didn’t get in that year. 😣
Charter schools are public. They have a parental board. The one in my town was attacked a few years ago by activists for not allowing a commencement speech about a certain thing. The principals reputation was ruined. He was driven out.
I don’t think we should ditch public schools. Some people need that. If we ditched it entirely, education would no longer be a right, which it should be.
Success is about people who want it, and as a public school student, I didn’t really want it. I never had ambition, I was just fine with chilling out
@@ajw20 I disagree, perhaps in concept you are correct, but in the current climate public schools only serve to train mindless drones, not actually provide an education.
If i were to take that position, i would suggest re-designing the entire public school system to focus on learning how to critically thing and how to learn, not mindless memorization.
I was one of those who pursued success, i found it explicitly because i was willing to buck the public school system by skipping straight to college (with reverse dual enrollment for all my classes). If i had stayed in school i would have continued to be held up by the way the school system specifically trys to ensure that no student can progress too far ahead of the "pack".
I agree with your "success is about people who want it" my observation is that Those who find success in public school find it despite the structure, not because of it.
Education has not been a right for a long time, (not only in america as well, globally as well) it has been replaced with a fake "education" focused only on raw knowledge and conditioning to unquestionably believe and obey instructions from authority.
@@dlanbatal I can agree with that, yeah, a very valid perspective indeed
My main point is “ditching” public education simply won’t do, and it’s a terrible argument that will only lead INEVITABLY to a system where education is either fully privatized or where the best education is in the hands of those who can afford it, not those who seek it. I don’t think I need to explain why that’s bad. Reform is what is needed, but I feel like this commenter, and sadly, many people in this video’s comment section as a whole, are VERY misguided on incentives of education and how we can achieve greater academic success.
(I also think people are being way too harsh on the unions, as teachers are people, too! But that is more of a personal thing.)
I went to a private school that had a 100% graduation rate because they were able to kick out the students who would not graduate on time.
I used to go to a charter school with a 100% graduation rate because youd have to go find a different school if you said you didnt want to go to college during a mandatory meeting every senior had
If the kids are well educated, they can think for themselves. Govt and media can't control their thoughts.
Thing is - what 'burns out' teachers isn't long hours or hard work - what burns out teachers is when they are forced to teach kids who don't want to be there, who hate the subject they are studying, and who are just going through the motion to try and get through whatever it is they are doing faster. The teacher then starts behaving the same, and this feeds students who might be engaged - hence snowballing the effect.
It's also about lack of support from parents and sometimes even admin. When you have everything piled on you with no support, few resources, and ALL the blame ... I mean, what do you get bout of staying? Certainly not the money.
And get this they're only paid for class hours crazy right? The funny thing is folks want 110% out of their educators but only willing to compensate minimum wage for it. So no shit they're done with it.
You are dead on. And in some cases, the teachers who are doing their best, are blamed for the failing grades of kids who daily won't even pick up a pencil. That's the teachers fault? Those kids should be removed from the classroom so teachers can teach the kids who want to learn. But those kids have to watch teachers spend all their time on disciplining kids who don't care or getting that kid or two to pick up a pencil. We have our priorities out of whack.
Agreed, it is a combination of poor leadership, over the top record keeping, poor support from some, a minority, of parents but unless children have a safe space to learn and parents engaged you are on a hiding to nothing. My teachers took pride in their pupils achievements, it vindicated their efforts.
Exactly! The Sisyphean task of dragging an apathetic or even hostile group of students through a lesson is an exhausting experience. Do that all day every day with the addition of admin telling you you're the problem and parents alternately ignoring your attempts to contact them and yelling at you for giving their precious baby angel any kid of consequence, and it will drain the life out of any teacher. It's hard work, with little to no purpose or progress.
On the other hand, leading a group of engaged students, who are enthusiastic and want to be there through lessons. . .that's the dream. It is encouraging and uplifting and fun. It's hard work, but it matters. What you are doing makes a difference.
As a father of 3 children, we must always remember that the role of parents being involved in their children's education is of paramount importance.
And we must always remember that not all parents are created equal.
I’ve been looking for the answer to why kids perform badly for years.
Turns out? It’s by design. Sickening
I felt so bad for that kid that had to watch his mom yell into the microphone like a psychopath.
She was paid to be ignorant.
My son attended a somewhat unique "Laboratory School" where it's technically a public school but also has tuition. Their overall budget spends 60% of what the state spends per student yet they have a 98% college placement rate and consistently rank in the top five schools in the state based on performance.
i'd love someone to do a breakdown of where exactly the money is going in both these different types of school, to show where the waste is coming from in state schools. i'm going to guess whatever it is, someone in the school is getting money out of it them self.
@@ge2719 The entire administrative division is sucking down the largest percentage. Nepotism in the school book line is strong. And I'm sure George S. has paid someone to insert Marxist pablum books in there, too.
@@ge2719 It's administrators. Same shit as colleges today. Back when I was a junior in high school, I got on the schoolboard as a student representative. We didn't have much power (it was me and a buddy), but we did get to see the school budget sheet. We were a high school of about 2000 kids total, pretty moderate sized, yet there were dozens of people in administrative roles whom none of us had ever met, nor really knew what they were doing. And these people got GENEROUS six figure salaries while good teachers languished with a salary maybe 10-15% of what these crooks got.
This should be done in every state no child should be left to figure out school on their own
We NEED school choice!!!
The counselors we had in high school didn't do anything. All they did was bitch that X kid was going to flunk out and be useless. They'd scold you, but none of them ever helped you.
I agree in principle, but I think children and their parents need to take charge of their education rather than letting others handle it for them. Allowing the state and federal governments to inject themselves in to local matters through grants and other funding was a huge mistake.

Time to get rid of teacher's unions and get the government out of schools once and for all.
I honestly don’t understand why public schools are against charter schools. Isn’t it all about the children? They said it takes away money from the public schools but it’s also taking away a student so I don’t see what the problem is. Instead of giving money to the schools we should assign it to a student and they can go wherever they want.
There’s a few reasons: 1) they take funds from public schools, 2) they hand pick kids (no special education or ELL students), 3) they don’t have to follow the same rules (#2), 4) they pay staff less.
5) the education your child receives is much better.
Because the Charter schools would mostly show them up for the crap teachers they are.
Hand picking the best students seems a good thing to me. Those students won't be bullied for wanting to learn. If they are black they won't be told that they're acting white if they don't use AAV.
They won't need to dumb themselves down to protect themselves. Anyway I don't know if you are even correct in saying that they hand pick them. In the right environment everyone can be successful.
Paulo Friere.
Pedagogy of the "oppressed". He wrote the bible of how public schools should be run and they've been in a death spiral ever since.
The kids that come out of public schools may not be educated in the traditional sense but they'll march in the street over injustice at the drop of a hat.
It was never about teaching children but indoctrinating them.
The Unions will never admit this, lest they be lynched by mobs of angry parents who realize their kids were made into tools of a sick ideology.
Public schools are a joke. We put my son in charter school by 1st grade and he run circles arround his public school counter parts.
He’s also a lot SAFER, public schools have a lot of violence.
It's funny you mentioned that. My aunt is a retired principal/teacher and a Democrat. She hates charter schools.
@nickcox1408 That's because she's a union puke. For every student public looses to charter/ private they lose money from the state. Charter does it better every time for less per student. It's probably worth mentioning that charter schools can fire shity teachers whenever for whatever, so you dont have pos teachers collecting checks hiding behind the teachers' union.
Maybe if the government schools did their jobs in the first place, they wouldn't have to harass charter schools among others.

Teachers unions function as intended by giving teachers as many benefits as they can. Unfortunately the teachers unions aren't getting the results in students needed to justify all the benefits. I agree with another comment I saw that said any entity taking in public funds should not be unionized.
...then Police Unions
It is no surprise that union labor leads to inferior results. They are equity based, not equality based.
I remember hearing a story from a friend who's in IT. He said the one time he worked in an area with union workers he wasn't allowed to plug in computers because "that's an electrician's job".
@@Sgt_SealCluber Their rules are their downfall.
Yep, wanting everything to have the same results. Not effective at all
It's not all sunshine and rainbows though. The turnover is pretty high and the glassdoor reviews say less than stellar things about the management there. But it still provides poor families with a significantly higher chance of not having their kids getting involved in vice related activities
@ouya_expert I can imagine that standards leads to a lot of people leaving. Not many that can survive a high stress environment, especially when women make up the majority of educators.
People who can think for themselves are always a threat to the government
This is the way all schools should be!!!! Our public schools suck.
Government propaganda schools.
This is how Sweden is. They want charter schools. It forces Public schools to up their game. In Sweden, Public schools are force to be top notch, and its a bargaining chip to get students to come. Or else they will just go to a charter school.
That's true. And as long as charter schools are allowed to take the decent kids out of public schools they will only get worse. Ultimately all you have left in Public schools are the future prison population. And the refusal of administrations to punish garbage behaviour means they will never improve.
Teacher unions are the worst!!
Unless you want to have a cushy retirement on the local taxpayers backs.
@@illbeyourmonster5752 That is more true than most have any clue of, and I know a _ton_ of teachers.
@@illbeyourmonster5752 we don;t need unions for a nice retiremnet plan. We can all eanr more, save and invest on our own.
They are bad but not as bad as cop unions!
They all suck equally. Everything unions originally fought for legitimately is now federal law. Their only purpose now is to keep those monthly dues checks coming in to keep their elected democrat politician's and union official's slush fund afloat.
It's insane to me that anyone would oppose this. Money corrupts.
Yet another reason to NEVER vote for a Democrat
Money doesn't corrupt; it's a catalyst; if the person is good, Money enhances their goodness, whereas if they are corrupt, then it only enhances their corruption.
Imagine being condemned to public school.
Notice how articulate and well mannered the principle is. We need to stop lowering our standards to make the lakers of society feel better
You can't even spell "principal" correctly. Get hooked on phonics. 😂
@@KamalasNotLikeUs its the correct spelling of the wrong word, so my no need for phonics
Yeah, she's awesome! But her detractors will just say "she too white!"
@@KamalasNotLikeUs 6th grade spelling bee champion here. I cringe every day, but I don't judge. Yer sadness is showing.
Nice to see children who are clean, tidy and dressed like children.
We should put this woman in charge of the education system. Get rid of the teachers unions.
That's not going to happen.
Like ALL unions, the teachers union is only interested in teachers, not students. In the UK, the recent doctors strike showed the same disregard for patients and the sick.
There’s a successful charter school in my area that wants to expand to include more children who didn’t get in the lottery. The public school advocates are mad and actively working against this.
My daughter is a public school elementary teacher. She went to public and Catholic school as a child. The number one issue currently in public schools is lack of meaningful discipline. They have very little recourse if a child is misbehaving and this disrupts learning for others.
Success Academy has an advantage that kids want to be there and act accordingly. Not to say that's a bad thing.
I have heard the same story from several teachers.
Nah, the number one issue is lack of accountability for teachers.
It's also a lack of accountability for teachers.
Get government out of the indoctrination business!
Government will never allow it. The power of government comes from violence and indoctrination. The government simply won't cut one of its legs.
1) When something like this happens in the US (e.g. suppression of charter schools), best believe some people are guarding their own interests. How can it be that public schools get more funding from govt, with falling attendance? 2) It's clear that the Success Academy has got many things right. But without discipline and motivation at home, results may be limited. So kudos to the parents of the successful children. We may not see your struggle, but your childrens' success is a reflection of what you have done, as well.
De Blasio the governor of New York received his funding from the teachers union, and he’s heavily against charter schools. I wonder why?
Starting off with parents that care enough about their kids to put the effort to get them into better schools makes a huge difference.
Thank you for pulling back the curtain of mainstream media.
Unions are for profit businesses and should be treated as such. Mandatory union membership is worse than a monopoly. You can choose not to buy from a monopoly.
its not like we have a company that's an actual monopoly
I'm an Airline Pilot who got furloughed once and so I sub taught for nearly two years and I was horrified by the conditions of the public school system where I live. Even more than this though, was the incredible levels of narcissism exhibited by the fulltime staff. They're as smug and arrogant as any work group I've ever seen.
No government entity should ever have a union. Conflict of interests.
Not just America, start spreading this knowledge around the world.
Its probably worth mentioning that a school which has parents fighting to get their kids in, by default, has students who are more likely to succeed. A public school gets the rest.
Shush! Don’t you know that things are supposed to be simple! You are gonna hurt people’s brains with your thoughts and uncertainty
Which is the reason we need more charter schools. We need a spectrum of schools with different difficulties and costs, different specialties and teaching styles. Schools need to have enough competition that the strongest survive. Every student needs a school that serves their needs. The only way to have that is to let the students have many options to choose from.
@thesentientsword8480 and the money needs to follow the student rather than being spent directly on schools simply because they exist.
they use lottery system to take students
@@bradhowlett1Public schools are literally funded by head count you nitwit. Get a clue.
With the hell public school teachers go through today, they should be supporting this environment.
For some reason they are willing to put up with all the crap to get that nice teacher's union pension after they retire.
Teachers unions also bully teachers into joining. Popping car tires is one of their scummy tactics
Teachers at these charter schools probably last longer because they can actually see results in the kids. Plus they probably don't have to deal with (or ignore) as many discipline problems as public school teachers do.
@jimruby9657 Right. If a kid acts up, he faces getting kicked out. That means something to them.
Nothing happens to kids in public school because they run the asylum, and if they do get kicked out, they don't care.
Exactly. You know these kids are super well behaved, because going to this school is a true privilege that not a lot of people have.
There are some genuine people out there such as you John. Keep it up!
As a Christian conservative public high school teacher, what I can say is that the government doesn't deliberately try to fail kids, but the beauracracy is so overloaded with nonsense policies that most teachers and administrators hands are tied. And I live in a non-union red state!
Do you teach children that you think people wearing mixed fabrics should be punished?
The nonsense policies were deliberately enacted, were they not?
@PROVOCATEURSK An ad hominem attack unrelated to the topic being discussed. Clearly the school you went to failed to teach you logic.
@@PROVOCATEURSKThe god tier irony of having "Provocate" in your username as you use a logical fallacy to provoke someone 😂
@@qrzone8167thats not ironic its literal 😂😅
Because its not about education, its about power.
They probably teach a traditional curriculum. I bet everything isnt gay or racist.
Or Athletics.
Traditional: science, English, being a decent human 😅
Race doesn't exist. Sex is not an appropriate subject for children.
If charter schools take Federal money, they're also woke. Not woke=no Federal money.
Do they hire based on DEI?
You can thank teacher unions in large part for this craziness. We've had decades of results that show us that throwing more money at public schools does not give a better outcome, it's a broken metric. Sadly, our children are paying the price. They deserve school choice.
The unions treated Jaime Escalante the same way, for the same reason. The unions can't stand it when good teachers make them look bad.
The unions have too much gana to fuck everyone who stands in their way.
This is the way kids should be educated. It is sad how much hate is sent their way. Sad stuff.
"They dont want people who are able to think critically and think for themselves. No, they dont. They want obedient workers" - George Carlin
Public Charter schools are the gold mine if you're not able to homeschool. I am very sad there aren't more like it so those other underserved families have a chance!!
lmao only clowns quote that joker
My family all pitched in together so that all four school aged kids in our group, are in private school. It's hard for us, but we have no choice really.
@@mikeg3439 my child attends a public charter, work based learning curriculum. Highly recommended. My kid reads, can do simple math operations (add, subtract, multiply, and divide). He just graduated Kindergarten.
" think critically" you can talk when you dont spew rhetoric literally coined by the father of public eduication
if public education isnt for " critical thinkingh" why did the man who coined the term create it.
you dont know what the words mean youi just say them then conflate them too any assumption you make and pretend its intelligent behavior cause you call it " critical thinking"
like john dewey the man who coined the term and started the school system you just criticized and btw its went down since dewey bud.
before you try and deflect your buzzword nonsense.
@@bastait what's funnier than George Carlin is your perception of the world around you.
Thank you for your reply. You've not only shown your pitiful grammatical acumen but also your inability to form a coherent argument.
Critical thinking is defined as a person's ability to actively assess their situation and choose their course of action based upon the compendium of any information made available from experience, observation, or reasoning; rather than making a reactionary decision based upon emotion or authoritative directives.
Please sit down.
This is wonderful news. We need more of this! Every child deserves to have an opportunity to challenge themselves at a school like this!
I want to see you do a full length interview with a teacher union president
You know that will never happen.
Prolly few and far between who have the guts
In order for that to happen, they would have to wait to conduct the interview until after sundown, when the union president emerges from their coffin to feed.
@@mcalsip I know that’s the truth but it’s still hilarious
@@luke8173 none of them would. I’d love to hear about teachers strikes during the plandemic
A student body that can stand up, think, question, and accomplish is a group that doesn’t need the government. Government hates that.
And ... is _terrified_ by it. That's why _they_ won't allow it, as long as _they_ are in power. We need people like Trump who don't kowtow to the establishment. Honestly, I think that's his greatest virtue.
My friend who's a teacher, that's all she's complaining about. How the government is taking away the money from the public school. I asked, why are you against choices; why are you against a better education.
What was her answer?
I think that's her union essentially brainwashing her.
Their Real complaint is not enough $ for CRT & the gay agenda to teach kids.
The state she lives in is taking money away from public schools not the federal government.
Her answer?
Unions should only allowed for Private Enterprise, NOT GOVERNMENT ENTITIES!
The worst insult you will ever hear out of my mouth is "you sound like a public school teacher"
Real smart.
How many times do parents need to hear that teacher unions and govt employees do not care what becomes of their kids?
These are the same bureaucratic types that send THEIR CHILDREN TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS! Rules for thee,but not for me!!! Thank you 😇 😊!
When people argue against charter and private schools, you hear reasons that "they are a scam that take money and have poor education options" my immediate question is "and which of those problems did public schools solve?"
This
Its a money funneling system: government money goes to schools, then gets recycled to the city, and lines the pockets of underqualified bureacrats who constantly delay projects
Gut wrenching to watch the ‘losers’ in the lottery. Such a simple fix too. Abolish public education and make it all private and charter. Teachers Union won’t have it. They’d have to actually start doing their job and there’s no chance of that happening.
Teacher's unions have been a toxic blight on the U.S. education system for far too long now. It's costing our kids and our future.
I'm firmly against public education to hell with it!
School choice is the answer, sending the taxpayers money with their children to whatever school they want including homeschool
Sorry, but religious schools need not apply.
These kids are going places to. Not only are they getting a valuable education that seeks to help them achieve at high rates rather than just pass but they must be learning about the value of having a good work ethic.
I want to be a teacher and I’m getting my degree now. I wanna teach here!
They teach these kids HOW to think - not WHAT to think.
An educated populace is harder to control. Also, school districts get fed funds based on enrollment. The unions only care about the teachers who enrich them and not the students. We spend more and more and yet children are less educated than ever. The America of my childhood is gone.
I think that can be said about most countries. Unions should be abolished and education needs to be privatised.
Privatisation means that schools will have to compete and produce good results, rather than relying on government funds.
Hell, we need to get rid of the whole Prussian system that our (public) schools run on.
@@TearThatRedFlagDown That should apply to universities also.
@@ozzy1887 Yes, I'm talking about the entirety of the education system, universities included.
@@TearThatRedFlagDownmy only hesitation is that eventually “ the system “ figures out how to falsely inflate results - and you don’t find out until it’s too late- I’ve know teachers who are basically lowering standards now to make tings look good
@@Christine-hl4rl But this falsely inflating of results through the lowering of standards is already happening regardless, and not even on a small scale either.
But even if they do this, the ultimate result of that speaks for itself, doesn't it?
So what harm will privatisation do in order to bring competition and innovation back into the education system?
Schools which produce genuinely good results, with a good reputation are an inevitability in a system like that and it's something you can't create through government intervention.
*low expectations* guarantee terrible outcomes
Honestly the one graphic says it all.
Success academy succeeds on HALF the money per student that public schools receive.
Why? Because they have to actually spend that money on the students, and it isn't siphoned off into overblown administrator salaries and union reps.
Teacher's Unions oppose school choice because it means their money trough of free government money would be impacted, simple as that.
