\nReceived yesterday on\n\nK12 CEO Packard: $5M in 2011, up 36%<\/a> -jsq\n<\/p>\n

\n

\nKeep in mind that this company is based in Virginia, so our tax\ndollars from say, South Georgia meant for our school teachers,\nadministraters, supplies, and educating our students, would go to\n\n<\/a>\nbolster the economy in Virginia and line the pockets of the very\nrich. Meanwhile we have to raise taxes to simply educate the\nstudents attending our public schools. This is clearly NOT a plan to\n‘improve academic achievement’ as the preamble boldly lies.\n<\/p>\n

\n\nThe preamble<\/a> is boldly inaccurate and completely biased. The wording\nadded to the question on the ballot implies that the amendment would\nimprove student achievement and parent involvement. My stars, what\nbreathing individual doesn’t want those things.\n<\/p>\n

\nFacts are that by some measures charter schools perform 3% worse\nthan traditional public schools. We would hope that schools where\nparents have to sign a commitment of parent involvement would have\nsuperior parent involvement. Might I just add that students can be\nkicked out of charter schools and all students are educated in the\nTraditional Public School setting as per our Georgia constitution.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe ‘biased and inaccurate’ wording in the preamble to the charter\nschools question is not found in\n\nHB 1162<\/a>, the law that allowed this\nquestion to be placed on the ballot. It is not in\n\nHB 797<\/a>, the law\nthaw would be enacted should the amendment pass. NO the wording that\nis on the preamble comes straight out of ALEC documents, which are\nthe equivalent of ‘legislation for Dummies’ with a particular slant\nas you might imagine.\n<\/p>\n
