We should all be horrified and saddened by what is happening in Chester-Upland.  I don’t like seeding fear, but right now, few school districts are safe from the devastation that is creeping across our educational system in PA.  Unfortunately, the cycle of buying government to create more self-serving laws and budgets will continue unless we Stand Up For Public Education and demand change that prevents for-profit entities from tearing down America’s most valuable asset, our public educational system.  Unfettered capitalism in education is a recipe for disaster and we must educate others to support proper laws that, in turn, support educational achievement without robbing communities to pay profits for charter school companies.
