Here's your talking points:
- Better title would have been Not Without My Charter
- Maybe it was directed by Wes Anderson because the adults act like children and the children act like adults.
- Maggie Gyllenhaal as Erin Brockovich meets Waiting for Superman.
Let's make sure it's a hit so that our reform agenda gets through Congress.
One of the city’s highest-performing charter school groups, the Noble Street Charter School Network, has raked in nearly $400,000 over the last two school years by fining students for disciplinary infractions, a group of Chicago Public School students and parents said this morning.
The Noble Street Charter School Network collected $188,647 in fines, which it calls “fees,” during the 2010-2011 school year across the 10 high schools it operates. Since the 2008-2009 school year, the organization has collected $386,745 in detention fees and behavior classes.
Noble schools charge students $5 for behavior infractions like “bringing chips to school” and “not looking a teacher in the eye,” and students with multiple infractions must pay $140 to take a behavior-improvement course during summer school, according to information obtained by a trio of student, parent and legal advocacy groups.

American schools and American prisons are nothing but bookends of the same for-profit institution so this should come as no surprise
