Insight School of California Apollo Group Special education, recruitment, public school Internet

The above user is angry at this ripoff report since it is against a charter school. Even though user has not claimed that his/her daughter is attending the same charter, his/her rant is baseless. This user just supports all charters, even the ones like insight which has a mediocre record. My son also goes to a wonderful charter run by a non-profit where teachers are responsive but he has also gone to public schools which were excellent.

The charter in question, Insight schools of California has a API score of 670. They have a 2* rating by parents in the greatschools. Compare that to solid 5* and 820 API score of my son's charter chool. Compare that to public schools: most public schools in the area serviced by Insight has an API score of 750+. In short, this school performs worse than most public schools in this area. My point is that there are many for-profit organizations that set up the charter schools just for stealing tax payer dollars. I am not accusing Insight to be stealing taxpayer money but it is unwise to think that all charter schools are a success.

I am also offended by your rant on special education / english learners. Special education kids are there because of a disability (or most cases a gift we consider as curse) and as a community it is our responsibility to help them integrate into the community. Some one else may think that a math challenged girl like your daughter is using too much of resources and they may not like spending extra tax dollars on your daughter.

So you've filed a report about this school when you don't have any association with them? You admit you don't have a special needs student that may or may not have gotten service? Do you think this is ok? You want to be involved in a class action lawsuit where there could not have been harm to you or your student? You understand what you've written makes no sense and that this site should delete your comment right? It wouldn't surprise me if you were a public school teacher who's upset that charter schools are changing the education paradigm. It couldn't happen soon enough. If our public schools didn't have to waster so much money catering to 'special needs' and 'english as a second language' programs our kids might actually get an education worthy of the amount of money we pump into the grossly inefficient system we currently have. My daughter was enrolled at a charter school last year and I couldn't believe how responsive they were compared to the public school she was in prior. Instead of the response I got from a public school teacher when she was having trouble in geometry, which was, "It's not my problem if she doesn't understand, hire a tutor." By the way you could barely understand his broken engrish (no that's not a typo). The charter school teacher texted and called her at her cell phone and actually taught her to understand and complete the problems. Wow, who'd have thunk it.
