Ridiculous

The Washington Post wasn’t messing around when it called the situation in Kentucky – one of 10 states without charter schools – “ridiculous.”

The Post also did readers across the nation a service when it explained the different atmosphere at charter schools, which are publicly funded, privately managed schools: “Freed from the constraints of union contracts and one-size-fits-all school policy, they've been able to innovate successful new approaches to learning.”

Little wonder, then, the most determined opponents to charter schools in Kentucky, is, has been and will continue to be, teachers unions and their enablers in the Legislature.
