Charter schools are primary and secondary choice schools that receive public money such as donations, etc. from private entities. Charter schools are similar to other public schools as they are also exposed to the similar rules and regulations except they have more flexibility than that of traditional schools because charter schools are expected to perform at a certain level to gain certain results set by the school’s charter. A parliamentary select committee held a hearing on the Education Amendment Bill (proposal released by Associate Minister of Education, Hon. John Banks to the Cabinet Social Policy Committee) to permit for charter schools or partnership schools | (Kura Hourua) which are privately run but funded in partnership with the government. Charter schools (Kura Hourua) in NZ is being pushed by the Party Act Party to get the go-ahead. The issue that is ascending within the NZ education sector is that charter schools are being established in NZ because of underachievement within the current system and these schools are alleged to particularly focus on Pasfika, Maori, learners from low socio-economics backgrounds and learners with special education needs.

    The article “Charter Schools: How Charter Schools Can Hurt”, written by Lucinda Rosenfeld is an article about the negative impact of Charter Schools on the local public school institutions. Prior to No Child Left Behind (NCLB) there were public schools and private schools. Private schools included sectarian and non-sectarian institutions. Approximately twenty years ago, it was found that our public school system was failing drastically, and we were not servicing the children of this country to the best of our ability. Since that time, the idea of Charter Schools was created to facilitate parents who could choose to move their children from a failing public school to a thriving Charter School; which would be paid for with American tax dollars.…

    Charter schools were introduced as an alternative way of learning and have grown in numbers over the years. They are considered non-religious public schools operating under a contract, or charter, which governs its operations. In Arizona, the charter school effort has sold itself as a safe alternative for middle-class families looking for avoiding the network of under funded neighborhood schools. Charter schools are a good alternative means within the public school system for parents to look into. The teachers bring an increase in innovative methods that provide creative ways of teaching the students. Another purpose is having the teachers, both new in the system and ones that have experience, be responsible for their own education program and teaching methods. Teachers and student both get the opportunity to explore new ways of learning, different from how the traditional schools must teach their curriculum.…

    Charter schools encourage diversity throughout schools. On the “U.S. Department of Education” website written by Margaret Spellings, the author discusses how charter schools throughout the United States have grown and become more popular in the education system within the recent years. Since 1991, the U.S. has passed charter school legislations in 42 states (Spellings). This statistic shows that charter schools are increasing throughout the U.S. as racial diversity also rapidly increases.

    Charter schools are publicly funded school started by individuals who seek a difference in education than traditional public schools. Urban education has its advantages and disadvantages overall, but charter schools disadvantages are going to be my main focus. Student demographic can play a huge part in the downfall of charter schools because it is less diverse. Based on student demographics, the quality of teaching is also a negative impact especially on the students learning experience. Funding for charter schools has a lot of stipulations, but need more stipulations on how the money is spent because student can and will be affected in numerous of ways such as less high quality teachers replaced with more low quality teachers, less funding for an adequate learning experience, and less support from others to maintain a suitable learning environment. Therefore,…

    “Some believe that one remedy to unequal educational opportunities is choice.”(pg 298). I am an advocate for charter school education, though I was never able to attend one. I recognize that high school students have different interest and passions. In Creating Comprehensive High Schools, James Constant suggest special academic arrangements be made for highly gifted the that “these students are challenged not only by course work, but by the development of their special interest as well.” (Pg 329) I feel every student should be afforded the opportunity to develop their interests, gifts and strengths in the public school setting. To just give this privilege that is paid for with public monies to certain students, instead of all, based upon the observation of teachers is unfair. Especially, in schools where students live with socio-economic issues that impact their education negatively. If a talented student has not eaten breakfast, how can he concentrate on class assignments to his best ability? If a student has not had great academic advantages and exposures, such as those found in elite prep schools, how can he attain the same study habits and principles? Should not these students be allowed to develop their special interests in order to have the best public educational high school experience? Charter schools give the benefit of specialized…
