The Center for Education Reform just released the news that nationwide the number of charter public schools grew by nine percent in 2010.
Thirty-nine states and the District of Columbia has them, and they now have more of these public schools which, in places like Boston, New Orleans and New York City, are beginning to show dramatic performance with disadvantaged children.
Meanwhile, Kentucky has not one of these innovative schools. Instead, our disadvantaged kids continue to suffer in schools stifled by regulations and union contracts that interfere with doing the innovative things our kids need to succeed.

Charter schools would give all children a better shot at an education that will help them succeed in the future.
Eternal Pissimist, you are right. Instead, unfortunately, Kentucky's kids are stuck in a school system where too many teachers don't believe those kids can learn, not even today after 20 years of KERA.
Check out my new blog on the Clark County School District posted on November 10, 2010.
