I want to first clarify who their enemies are: Leftist Teachers Unions and the Democratic Party of the Lying Jackasses. Keeping our citizens dumb ensures a Democrat constituency. Education is anathema to the Marxist/Fascistic ideals promulgated by the progressive left and elites.

Charters succeed at teaching — that’s why their enemies hate them
Faced with the undeniable fact city kids attending charters schools do far better on state exams than those stuck in the regular public-school system, critics routinely complain that charters “teach to the test” — as if that’s somehow a bad thing.
Tests, after all, measure what kids are supposed to learn. Schools that don’t “teach to the test” effectively aren’t teaching at all. In other words, the critics are just avoiding the fact that public charter schools work — and, most embarrassing to the vested interests that depend on the regular system, work far better for lower-income minority children.
As ex-Gov. David Paterson, a Democrat who fought successfully to allow more charters back in 2010, told The Post: “The charter schools took the kids that people said couldn’t learn. These kids are getting scholarships.
Indeed, our reporting shows that city black students, in particular, face a far better future if they attend a charter, with far higher percentages scoring proficient in both math and English.
This, though about 80% of charter students count as economically disadvantaged, and roughly 15% of have Individual Education Plans (usually associated with being in special ed), per the NYC Charter School Center.
