    Classical charter school with ties to conservative college makes plans for Carmel location

    Good for Carmel and Hamilton County. More school choice is always better.

     

    I live close to one of those in Vegas. Haven't heard much good about it.

    There are other issues not mentioned. If a school is getting a certain percentage of free and reduced meals, they cannot sell what is classified as “junk food”. The other possible issue is that the school may have a contract with a vendor, so only drinks and snacks from that vendor can be sold on school grounds. My guess is it’s the former that is the issue. 

    It's also the issue that the money the students are spending might not be theirs. Eons ago I worked as a substitute teacher, and during a week-long stint in a 2nd Grade classroom one of the students brought a $100 bill to school. She was going to use it to buy stickers.

    So for you all private/parochial/charter schools should be forced to accept a quota system for admissions, where a certain percentage of the student body needs to be a racial minority.  Is that correct?

    Except that Strom Thurmond fellow. He was GOP for most of his career.

    Look like 11.2% of the parents in Nevada/Clark County are segregationists and need to be punished by the state for not believing the government schools are the best and only real educational option for their children.

    And instead of addressing the criticism, you give me this nonsense.

    You're being outraged about school choice?  Yeah, we get that.

     

    Allow me to clarify, using your own source-

     

    Schools of quality don't want "low-income" students, because those students aren't students of quality. All "school choice" does is produce a sorting mechanism to allow segregation to return.
