Quite a number of such partnerships do exist, however, and do operate successfully.(They're identified, described and explained on www.educationevolving.org.) <br /><br />Very serious people from the teacher unions are now visiting these schools; thinking about this model. It is possible that if teachers can control what matters for school and student success, teachers will accept responsibility for school and student success.<br /><br />And, yes, I do continue to try to explain that no<br />intellectually-respectable discussion about student performance is possible without knowing what the school has its students reading, seeing, hearing and doing. A charter is a kind of<br />'license' to start a school. To say a school is 'chartered' tells us nothing about what its students read, see, hear and do.Ted Kolderiehttp://www.educationevolving.orgnoreply@blogger.com
