Who runs KIPP. Goin...People are not stupid either. Who runs KIPP. Going to school longer hours doesn't make students better academically. The people who run KIPP have access to a lot of things. Christie and his friends want to close all public schools because for money reasons. They know they can fool urban people more than the suburban parents by calling black and hispanic schools failing schools. Suburban parents wouldn't tolerate anybody calling their schools or children failing. You don't know if KIPP students are doing better than public school schools students are. You are not watching to see what the KIPP teachers are teaching or the curriculum. And you are not watching the people grade the standardized test of the KIPP students and the public school students. Everybody is just going by what we are being told.

Since corporations such as KIPP foundation are running urban public schools. Hey, this reminds me of slavery, the slave masters ran and owned the planations and made money off of our work. So now they have come to own us again and close urban public schools, open charter schools and make money off of urban students not suburban students. I guess we like to be slaves, be told what to do, where to send our children to school, where to live, we like to be owned by them.Candy Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13051934161020581620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-86720925913950002032014-01-19T17:47:12.253-08:002014-01-19T17:47:12.253-08:00At usnews.com it says the student to teacher ratio...At usnews.com it says the student to teacher ratio is 15 to 1. That's a lot better than the district schools. I wonder what the teacher turnover rate is at Team Academy? http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/new-jersey/districts/team-academy-charter-schoool/team-academy-charter-school-12451Giuseppehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03418801372998968620noreply@blogger.com
