JER GEDDA FERDA RADDA ARA!


Is there a good resource on charter school performance by state, and includes data on students that were kicked out for under performing or being special ed, along with relevant state regulations and if that makes an impact? Or is that data more dispersed and obfuscated?

I am particularly interested in Arizona, because I have family who swear by charter schools here being better than regular schools, but their "data" is entirely personal experience drawn from their own non-disabled children and a belief that they received a better education, particularly because teachers could be fired (one was fired for teaching ancient aliens in a science course, or so goes the anecdote I've heard) and whether this is due to higher standards for teachers or just a greater revolving door to kick teachers out and push a certain curriculum.

I've found some studies on ERIC suggesting that they're typically poor for students with disabilities and that overall their performance varies to a greater degree than public schools, and I am wondering how this compares to other states like Michigan.

Also, teacher tenure and unions protecting lovely teachers above all else are not a thing that exists at any real level is it? Because the same family also swears that this is the case.
