(52,403 posts)Here is the problem you'll find in places like Central Florida when it comes to charter schools. The people behind the school will not be trained or interested in social justice. What you'll find is a group of good ole boys in the construction business eager to get their hands on federal and state dollars. Once the construction is over they will hand it over to administrators who were probably hand-picked by their connections. These people are usually not educated in the kind of programs you're talking about. Chances are there will be a right-wing bent in the teaching curriculum. Just the kind of thing that minority groups usually tune out.
I would support your kind of school if the administration and teachers could prove that they understood the special requirements to help minority students succeed. I don't see that level of discussion around here, though I can't say that I have been following the issue of late, either.
