Gulen, a Turkish Muslim organization, has charter schools
in Texas, California, Florida and 20 other states. The movement of Turkish Imam Fethullah Gulen, which runs 600 schools throughout the
world and has more than four million followers.
Gulen is secretive and feared by the Turkish
population. They are creationists and
are missionary-bent and active in many countries. Their teachers and
administrators are Turkish and in other countries on work visas. Their members
don’t admit they are associated with the Gulen movement.
They are hired by our governments and paid with tax
dollars. They are allowed to operate
without restrictions. These are Muslim,
parochial schools, masquerading as an international corporation with tax
funding for operating outsourced charter schools.
It feels eerily like the TSPLOST. We let public schools continue to be
dysfunctional (like GDOT). We let public
school student attainment deteriorate (like roads). We declare a crisis and propose
mal-investments that don’t solve the problem (like TSPLOST).
We need better student attainment in our public schools
and the state has a plan we can vote on..hmmm...I don’t think so. Do we have any other suggestions to make
public education work as well as home schooling ?
There are enough cronies in public schools. Adding
corporate cronies to “partner” with and run these schools will complicate
matters. The text book cabal needs to be dismantled. The curriculum is unhelpful and subject to
politicization. Unions and their link to
legislatures are unhelpful. The
bureaucracy is huge, expensive and unnecessary.
The costs to maintain multi-million dollar school construction, buses,
lawyers and boilerplate are unsustainable.
This is a “jobs” program that is now being dismantled through
outsourcing to education corporations like Pierson, Gulen, EdWest and Kipp.
Private, Public Partnerships like this.
All learning is self-learning. We have tools like the internet and kindle
that should make schools and books as we know them unnecessary, but unless we
let real teachers make the cost reduction decisions, we will be left with an
expensive rationing system. I think teachers
would remove the expensive overhead, district offices (except for specialists),
consultants, regulations, government mandates and PPPs instead and return to
autonomous neighborhood schools with district specialist support.
Our government has a pattern of taking over industries,
making them monopolies, running up their costs and then, offering worse
alternatives to escape the disasters they created. I can hardly wait to see what they want to do
with healthcare after Obamacare is repealed.

Everything you said is all about hatred. You hate about everything good and promising good for the future of our country. You might be against amendment but what about Xenofobia, Islamofobia? You should calm down and get some knowledge about Charter Schools. Charter Schools can not teach religion nor they are private. You also need to show little respect people which you are living together in the same country. Visit http://so-calledgulencharterschools.blogspot.com/ to learn more about Gulen Charter Schools Myth.
ReplyDeleteAll parents want their children to do better than they did, but that can’t happen if they don’t have access to high-performing public schools.When they go to the polls this November, Georgia voters have a chance to assure that parents can choose what’s best for their family and child.
