STEVE BARR TO RUN FOR LA. MAYOR- ANY GREEN DOT CHARTER SKELETONS IN HIS CLOSET?
(Mensaje se repite en Español)
The just announced candidacy of Green Dot Charter School founder Steve Barr for the mayor of the City Los Angeles next year might just be a blessing in disguise because a campaign between Barr and present L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti will have an almost impossible task of keeping their equally abysmal records on public and charter education out of the public debate. Could this finally lead to some overdue reform?
In reality, when it comes to public education policy, there isn't a nickel's worth of difference between present Mayor Garcetti's unwillingness to address and reign in clearly and long failed public education policies at LAUSD and Steve Barr's equally failed model of supposedly viable public charter education, which in reality is as bad or worse than LAUSD, if you don't fudge the stats.
