KIPP Charters

shared by Phil Riddle on 27 Jan 11 - Cached

Phil Riddle on 27 Jan 11

A lot has been made of the success of KIPP students and schools. Their formula doesn't seem be revolutionary (longer hours = greater achievement), but their success relies on charter school laws that allow for their existence and provide for their substanially higher per-pupil costs.

Interesting commentary on vouchers versus school choice. Also the Innovative Schools Fund is worth reading more into...how are these different from Charters? How will they compete with Charters?

Yipppeeee! 90% of school board members are "concerned about an overly narrow focus on achievement." There may be a flicker of light at the end of the tunnel.

It is interesting that school board members are only "lukewarm" about certain "structural" changes such as school choice, charter schools, and year-round schooling.

Board members think a number of much-discussed reforms hold little or no promise, with 40 percent saying they attach little or no importance to recruiting nontraditional teachers. More than 50 percent feel that way about increasing within-district school choice, more than 60 percent about a year-round school calendar, and more than 80 percent about the creation of new charter schools

How sad that the big beasts just keep getting bigger. Perhaps KIPP schools serve their population well, but what about reaching other populations! Truly David vs Goliath.
