Hillbilly version: Everyone has a choice (take it or leave it).
Arkansas charter schools are public schools, which spend less per pupil and produce better results. We
are asked to believe this. But if this true, why don’t we do away with traditional schools? Are results
tainted (little white lie)?
In 1999 Arkansas had 12 charter schools. This increased to 69 by 2022 and will be unlimited under
LEARNS, the new Arkansas learning program. It appears the charter school is the school of the future.
This is great. Will there be a bus going there?
We the general public think you are more intelligent because we only attended public school. Governor
Sanders attended the public school system. Bad example. She seems very successful in her chosen
field.
But if one is better than the other, will this not lead mental health problems to those attending the
charter. Who will accept the responsibility for the guilt those poor students who leave their close
friends behind (not to mention those not able to attend the charter. Can the charter school continue to
excel if the entire population is thrust upon them?
Separate but equal does not work (heard that somewhere).
