Bush also started "No Child Left Behind" and we know how that turned out.......children are passing for just showing up to school, he made it so u can not fail a child.....Charter Schools are nothing but small buisness who hire unqualified teachers.......u dont even have to be certified to teach or have a teaching degree at charter schools....... and the children are not learning a thing and many of the charter school have their own curriculums that is not equilavent to the public school curriculums.....Charter school are like community colleges, they exist just so the poor can have somewhere to go......Children from charter school are not going to college as much as public schools.....and i am speaking only for the Philadelphia area but it is probably through out the nation as a whole
