Bernie Sanders: I Oppose Charter Schools

At a meeting in New Hampshire Bernie said the following:

I’m not in favor of privately run charter schools. If we are going to have a strong democracy and be competitive globally, we need the best educated people in the world. I believe in public education; I went to public schools my whole life, so I think rather than give tax breaks to billionaires, I think we invest in teachers and we invest in public education. I really do.” – Bernie Sanders (Quote begins at 1:48:32)

4. One more reason to like Bernie.

What's his position on offshoring jobs? Anyone know?

Not a fan of charters. Don't understand why LAUSD is determined to shift more students to charters and away from traditional public schools

5. I suspect there's money involved.

7. The Finns, who do this well, aim for equality in education. Excellence is incidental.

We, OTOH, do the opposite of whatever they do, with anticipated results.
