Larry Ferlazzo: The Best Posts & Articles Analyzing Charter Schools

I’ve previously written several times about my concerns about charter schools and how they are often described by some school reformers as the answer to all that ails public education.

I thought it would be useful to readers, and to me, to bring together some article that I’ve found useful in learning about charters.

Here are my choices for The Best Posts & Articles Analyzing Charter Schools:

Schools Of Last Resort by Walter Gardner at Education Week.
The Myth of Charter Schools by Diane Ravitch at The New York Review of Books.
Charters vs. public schools: Behind the numbers by Valerie Strauss at the Washington Post.
What charter schools really tell us about education reform by Raina Kelley at Newsweek.
