"They don't have all the type of scores we would like to have, but they're going in the right direction."</I><BR/><BR/>Koppel is bad at logic, like most people. The charters in NO opened without any kind of local track record. Parents sent their kids to charters because at first they were the only ones open. It took the RSD time to open non-charter, open-admission schools and by then, they were truly last resorts. The enrollment of a school does not necessarily or automatically equal success. The management of a school doesn't automatically or necessarily mean success. If Koppel did any homework, which it's clear he didn't, he would know that there are charters in our city that are as unsuccessful and plagued by problems as the public schools they replaced. More needs to change in a school than the name and who allegedly manages it. It's 'great minds' like these that will kill our city. Because if there are no teachers or schools, what the fuck do you do?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
