This is an appalling statement by Jake. Public schools may have problems, but many of those problems are based on lack of funds for public schools, low pay to teachers, and ridiculously large classes (due to low funding). I have taught for over 23 years, and I work with outstanding public school teachers and administrators. Instead of funneling moneys to private and charter schools, state and federal governments need to give the needed funds to public schools, demand, if charter schools are receiving money, those teachers need to undergo the same requirements and standards public school teachers must adhere to. If states want charter school type education in the public schools, give us our needed money and allow us to have smaller class sizes.
