Description
Public education in the United States faces an unprecedented crisis. The explosive growth of charter schools over the last two decades has shaken the status quo to its core. At stake are the future of public schools and how they will continue to educate our nation’s youth.
Clashes over money and ideologies have led to a struggle between the public education establishment and those at the forefront of educational reform. The conflict is being waged in the court of public opinion, as well as in courtrooms throughout the country. While the outcome is impossible to predict, both sides are preparing for a fight of David versus Goliath proportions. Collaboration is critical to the success of both.
In Charter Storm, they use their combined knowledge and research of over 120 individual interviews over five years to teach you about— • essential insights those new to the charter school movement need for their schools to survive and thrive • how aggressive educational establishment pushback threatens to sweep away the most vulnerable • key issues authorizers must know to effectively oversee their organizations • the overwhelming challenges the educational establishment faces today and how it can effectively navigate the changing local and national educational landscape • why active participation and support of charter school associations are essential to each charter school and the educational reform movement’s long-term success • what every charter school parent needs to know to create and support an exceptional educational experience for his or her children.

There have been many concerns raised about education, on quality, structure, funding and the battle between private and public education. I wanted to read this book because I was interested in learning about charter schools and the status of education reforms in America.
This book gives an insight into various communities and the challenges they face. See, unlike my country-Kenya, America has different laws for each state and what's key about all the states is that under the constitution, education is a right and as such there's a lot to be said on public education.
Anyone interested in charter schools, public education and whether the reforms are disrupting the current public education system in America would enjoy this book! Thank you NetGalley for the eARC, a well researched work right here!
