[lbo-talk] Historical moment: the first full privatization of a U.S. public school district

[123hop at comcast.net]

Like I said, let's not be naive. Charter operators hire teachers for nothing, lease buildings to themselves that they already own for inflated prices, pay administrators enormous salaries, have mutally-beneficial arrangements with text book and curriculum providers, etc. 

They keep their expenses low by paying teachers very little, by throwing students (but keeping $ allocated for students), and by running all kinds of other scams. 

This is a pretty good place to get the lowdown on all the scams

What about the charter management companies that are bidding to take over the Muskegon schools. I assume they are for profit companies or are the non-profit too?
