Chapter 1716： The so-called charter school

"Hey, Jason, are you here too? Why didn't you tell me to join me?"

Conrad was also surprised to see Yang Cheng, but he was more happy. After all, sitting with an acquaintance is better than embarrassing a stranger.

Yang Cheng said helplessly, "I didn't want to come, but you also know that this time is too sensitive."

Conrad agreed, but he said, "You have to understand Bessie's feelings. After all, there is still suspense in this ministerial position. She must use all available objects to increase her bargaining chips~"

Yang Orange frowned and asked, "Listen to what you mean, there are still variables in this matter?"

"Of course, there will always be variables before the last minute."

Yang Cheng was about to continue to ask, but Conradnu said, "Bessie is here~"

Looking back, I saw Bessie walking over and sitting next to Liu Junyu with a smile, but didn't even look at her.

"Jason, Conrad, do you have any new ideas for my proposal?"

Her outspoken attitude just shows that she regards Conrad and Yang Cheng as her own, and there is no need to waste too much talking.

However, Yang Cheng has reservations about her proposal. She strives for benefits for ordinary students and charter schools. There is no doubt that the starting point of this matter itself is to do a good deed, may it not succeed?

Yang Cheng feels that the difficulty is very high. With so many public schools in the United States, the strength of the unity is still very strong. Maybe even her chances of taking office will be destroyed, and there is no way to talk about the proposal.

It must be emphasized here that public schools in the United States mainly refer to schools funded by the country, state, and region themselves, including public schools and charter schools allocated according to school districts. In other words, charter schools themselves are a type of public school .

Public schools allocated according to school districts can obtain triple budget funds for national, state, and regional taxation. These schools are generally ranked by the address where students live, and are greatly affected by local taxes. This has led to the birth of school district housing and high housing prices. Good community environment and source of land tax funds.

On the other hand, in some messy areas, parents don’t pay attention to education, low housing prices and low taxes have spawned a lot of dilapidated public schools. Teachers sitting on the funds provided by ZF do not seek merits but do nothing, which is deteriorating the current situation of education in the area. They are also indifferent, and will only force the government to provide more money to support teachers through the teachers’ union. This practice has made many children close to Zhu and black and black. It has also become a big cancer in American public school education. The key is that this cancer is too big There are too many to cut everything, and it indirectly harms ordinary international students studying in the United States.

These international students do not rely on ZF funding, second do not have a prominent family background. They basically rely on their own efforts to go abroad, and they have to obtain school scholarships. They usually need to work-study to earn living expenses. These people have smeared before going abroad. I don’t understand the situation of the school at all. I can only listen to the intermediary’s arrangements. The intermediary says what it says. When I arrived in the United States and discovered that it was a junk school, it was too late to leave.

Of course, not only ordinary students, but also many wealthy international students who have nowhere to go in the United States have fallen into similar traps. So some things are really hard to prevent. You can only keep your eyes open and take a look, or simply don’t go abroad. Now is not 20 years ago. The education level in China is pretty good, and there is no need to be bullied and blinded in my own country.

I'm going far, and back to the topic, it's a recognized fact that the gap between public schools in the United States is very large. It is clear that two schools that are very close may have completely opposite teaching quality.

Public school districts are like big pots of food in a canteen. What you want is not the taste, but the quantity. As long as the taste can be swallowed, they pursue fairness but sacrifice the opportunities for students to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. The teachers union proposes to raise wages, shorten working hours, and reject There are very serious conflicts between the requirements of teaching quality evaluation and the interests of students in pursuing their studies.

This is a rigid system that has been criticized for a long time. Bessie is not the first minister to try to move this piece of cake, nor will he be the last. Every guan who has just taken office has a dream of praying for the people. It's a pity that Guanchang is a big dyeing vat. After a long time, even a piece of iron can be dyed, let alone people.

For parents who cannot afford private schools, they cannot break through the public school's monopoly on educational resources. They cannot afford to buy a school district and cannot enter a good school, so they can only watch their children absent from school!

Sad? Distressed, then someone proposed a solution. Charter schools are the product of solving the ills of public schools.

Someone suggested that ZF should not monopolize educational resources, and that teachers should be allowed to use more flexible, specific and efficient teaching methods to meet the needs of each child, such as those children who cannot afford tuition or can not afford school district housing.

Then the charter school was established To put it bluntly, this is similar to the management of a private school, but with the ZF budget allocation, students enroll for free.

It has to be said that the existence of charter schools does solve some of the problems. These various types of charter schools can help those minorities and low-level students who have excellent academic performance but cannot go to school, find the joy of studying in school, and help They improve their skills and enter society with a better attitude.

In the past few years, nearly a quarter of the 200-ranked schools in the United States were charter schools, which shows that the quality of education in charter schools is not low.

However, charter schools have encountered great resistance in the development process, not only from the hostility of public schools, but also have their own big problems. For example, because charter schools have great freedom for teachers and principals, good and bad Uneven, it is difficult for schools to conduct unified management.

Coupled with the deliberate targeting of public schools, they believe that charter schools have robbed the district's public schools of students and funds. Several states have extremely negative attitudes towards the existence of charter schools, adding multiple restrictions on their establishment approval and budget allocation.

This is the problem Bessedworth wants to solve. She wants to get more financial support for charter schools, to be able to build more charter schools, and to make the charter schools that have existed for many years develop better and attract more people. Children who are capable of going to school but have high talents come to school.

If this is done by her, she will definitely become one of the greatest education secretary in American history!

However, her ideas are all beautiful, but reality will tell her that dreams can only be dreams.

As for someone said: dreams are still necessary, what if they are realized? This sentence itself is not a problem, it is only spread because it comes from the mouth of a successful person. If your neighbor, Uncle Wang, tells you this sentence, you will be considered a good character if you don't pry his wife!
