Many of our nation's prep programs are terrible for introducing a variety of teaching methods *or* subject content to teachers.

Economics is absolutely important, but the biases against minorities by society as well education staff and administrators have toward minorities of many stripes adds to the bad outcomes experienced by these populations.

There's things that the school has control over that creates and encourages the school to prison pipeline.

While many times charters are neither better but could be worse, there are a number of districts that lead to the positive. While public schools must be strengthened, they need to be shaken up and the "parents are at fault" or "its poverty" talking points need to be accepted, but then pushed aside by our colleagues so that they can stare intently at what is in their power to change and what is happening to our kids.

School is not a substitute for poor parenting. Teachers can't counter the damage done in the home. When kids show up for school in dirty clothes, hungry and tired and the first hour of the school day is spent on basic hygiene and feeding, these kids are losing 5 hours a week of instruction time. Many inner city teachers that teach young children also allow for nap time because some of these kids lives are so chaotic they aren't given the opportunity to get a decent nights sleep. No matter how good of an educator you are and how much funding your school receives, there's no rebounding from losing 5-10 hours of instruction time each week.

The root of the problem here is that charters accelerate the prison to pipeline process for at risk kids. What they do is keep those who follow the rules and simply get rid of those who don't conform. Public school does not. They must educate all -even those most toughest kids behaviorally and academically. Charters are using pubic schools as dumping grounds for those who don't fit the charter school mold. That is a dangerous practice and it will do exactly what happened in Chile and further stratify socioeconomically. It takes care of nothing. Also, research has been done and it has been concluded that charters have stricter guidelines at suspensions for both black students and students with disabilities.
