Public Education VS Charter Schools
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Not long ago, I attended a workshop about writing grants in the field of education. This workshop covered grants coming from private institutions to grants coming from the federal government. In the workshop, charter schools were mentioned frequently. It was quite amazing to discover that such schools were not facing an economy crisis as public schools. I discovered that such schools are receiving a lot of leverage from private foundations and individuals. This, in part, produces the abundance of monetary resources required to run the system of charter schools. My number one concern is, however, if public education will reduce to something very insignificant or if both systems will continue to coexist side by side. Being part of public education, I can not deny the many inconsistencies found in the way it is managed. There is a lot of mismanagement that translate in waste of many resources. I am not sure, however, if establishing charter schools are the answer to the endemic failure of public education.
