People around the world are struggling against the increasing commercialization and privatization of public education!

This development is pushed by global forces (unleashed by global competition) and can therefore only be effectively countered, if we also unite globally!

People around the world will unite in protest for a "Global Week of Action" [against the marketization of education] in Nov. 2009!!

In Solidarity from Germany,

When charters have private boards and are exempt from public & labor regulations & laws,

and can manipulate who they can accept, then they are private. When Harlem Success Academy Director Moskowitz pays herself a $370K Salary without public input [or a Brooklyn Charter Director a $700K salary] then the public would have been able

to indict these charter-operators for super-grand larceny if charters had not been exempted from public laws and oversight.

Shame on those poverty pimps!

Charter Schools are only "public" schools in 2 ways:

1. They receive public money from the state's and city's already limited education pots.

2. City children attend free of tuition costs.

First, Charter schools are public schools. Second, There are 400 kids at PS 197 in a school built for 1,000

Third, DOE's elimination of 6th grade elementary programs is occurring all over the city,

Fourth, I'm sure there were public hearings on the subject, I wonder if these people showed up then
