Mr. Perkins' voice needs to be heard. I'm with him insofar as questioning the wholesale selling out of public schools that seems to be being advocated today. If bureaucracy is such a huge issue for public schools, then let's change the system so that we can devise better ways to educate!
“When you are dying of thirst, you will drink whatever is wet,” Mr. Perkins said of the parents who yearn for more charter schools. “You are at the mercy of whoever is holding out some hope for you. So I don’t see the number of applicants as evidence of success for charters, I see it as evidence of failure of others.”
