For myself, Canterbury is a low-rent cash operation that provides mediocre to average kids in Fort Wayne a path to a Ph.D. in Latin History. A few students will come out of Canterbury and do well for themselves, but I have found several of the kids do well because of ties to old connections in town. If parents were really serious about great education, then they would send their child to a boarding school on the East or West coast, where students get one-on-one attention, more rigorous academics and better cultural perspectives.

But since the selection process is much more stringent and those selected attend the elite universities the statue of a teacher in Finland is comparable to an MD. <br /><br />Here we let anyone go to a college of education and we graduate twice as many teachers as we need.

That proves that it's not the parents.<br /><br />So if there's nothing you can do with these kids then what's the problem letting someone else try. That's what the charter school people are trying to do, If they fail, then they'll disappear, or do you believe they're just in it to make money?<br /><br />Your inflation adjusted funding has increased threefold over the last four decades with no improvement in educational achievement. There are countries like Poland that achieve the same academic results as the US spending half as much per student. So if this is the best you can do with these kids let's cut your funding in half and see what happens. What you're losing to vouchers and charter schools is insignificant compared to the taxes we're paying for what amounts to overpriced day care. <br /><br />Code Blue Schoolshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00733175576117773383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596380320834499162.post-35289657162884829782013-09-10T18:42:53.657-05:002013-09-10T18:42:53.657-05:00Write what you will, but Bennett's wife was hi...Write what you will, but Bennett's wife was hired by the charter school that he bent the rules for.
