Why doesn’t anyone file a suit agaisnt magnet schools? How many of you live in a poor neighborhood or have children go to a failing school. I know Charlie Puffers and believe me she has never helped any inner city kids? Ask her how she treats the kids of color? Don’t even get me started as she is a fake. I will prove it soon. She should give all the money she stole by miseducating them. Lets ask a former student?

I was wondering why they’d name a school after a popular shake flavor at a quick service restaurant

The money should come from the CMO’s themselves since they’re not controlled by local boards of educations and municipalities. However, since they are tax payer funded the tax payer will get handed the bill for their defence. However, parents need recourse when damages have occured. When a child is kicked out or exited from a charter school the student and family have suffered damages and should be awarded a financial sum for those damages.

Disturbing on so many levels. Jumoke academies are popping up like fast food restaurants. Jumoke at Milner, the original Jumoke, and let’s not talk about the new Jumoke arts academy (100 students & no place to teach them on the first day of school). Where is the accountability? Deifying educators–with or without PhDs–and their strange tales of success only fails the students they say they want to help.

I heard that Sharpe refused to sign an agreement to keep all of the (neighborhood) students who were enrolled at Milner last year. Watch the enrollment decrease each year.

Funny. Kicked out for being poor test takers.

[...] at Milner/Jumoke, one of the schools absorbed into the Commissioner’s Network, did not ratify the Memorandum of Understanding — a move that has stirred the Superintendent [...]

Interesting idea, and a good way to become a PITA for these charter school idiots. But wouldn’t the burden of fighting those suits fall upon the local taxpayer? Or come from budget provided, in large part, by state taxpayers? On the other hand, that’s less of that money going into the pockets of profiteers.

Can you get a doctorate in Evangelism?…because it’s pretty clear that all CEO “Dr.” Sharpe has to do is touch special needs children’s foreheads to “cure” them…perhaps he learned that skill from Paul Vallas and Steve Adamowski, because as we all know they’re miracle workers too. I am more amazed each time we read the complete and utter garbage filled rhetoric/ shell game perpetrated by Vallas, Pryor, Adamowski and now “not too Sharpe” and they manage to outdo each other with one ridiculous statement after another. A jamoke is certainly running Jumoke…
