One of my favorite places to go online is reason.com. It’s one of the few media sources that consistently posts stories that I’m interested in most. One example is this little piece about charter schools in New Orleans.
The first and perhaps biggest success of charter schools will be in poor neighborhoods. If this success spreads and continues, our whole nation will benefit in ways that we might not yet comprehend.
I keep wondering if the second wave of charter schools will be in suburbia where some of the families want to get away from the choking conformity that plagues so many communities. If that happens, the new charter schools may wind up serving many of the kids that magnet schools now serve.
