Because this thread just got moved from the Detroit section the conversation revolved around charters vs traditional public because thats where we are right now in Detroit. However like the article you posted we will be where Philly is shortly.

My question to you is what can be done about it ?

Ok so I can agree with you on that. But the situation concerning how the schools are run is not an indictment on the students and parents who care. It is on school administrators and politicians who live outside of the school district who send their kids to private schools who should be under the gun...
