School Privatization is turning into a disaster

I think at the rate we're moving now, we will see places like Detroit, New Orleans, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Kansas City, Indianapolis, and many, many other cities where public schools become, if they still exist, they will be a dumping ground for the kids that the charter schools don't want. We will see the privatization of public education run rampant. 

Even though privatization is a disaster it is being pushed because there is big money to be made.  Those profits are being taken out of the education of the students is the problem.  I am teaching in Alaska and watching the cuts taking place, it is not good for the students.
