Perhaps you are a frustrated activist because you don’t bother to learn the facts before jumping into action:

1. The curriculum is set by the state, not the LAUSD or the Charter Schools. Both types of schools share this same curriculum.
2. The greatest threat to the LAUSD’s financial solvency comes from the charter school industry. This is due to both fraud (https://medium.com/age-of-awareness/once-again-public-school-students-are-left-holding-the-bag-7f1d8e9d5495?source=friends_link&sk=b4d369bf4cfe1fc7d054faf5ed99e263) and their refusal to serve all students, regardless of needs (https://medium.com/age-of-awareness/excluding-special-education-78ea6df29128?source=friends_link&sk=1c52381fe19be91d64d05f00e07873a7)
3. Competition can only occur on an even playing field: http://www.changethelausd.com/education_for_sale_lausd_throws_the_fight_in_its_competition_with_charters
4. With unelected governing boards, what accountability do charter schools have to the taxpayers? https://medium.com/@ChangeTheLAUSD/more-eyes-needed-to-keep-watch-on-the-charter-school-industry-26c4ca77782c?source=friends_link&sk=d046eb0274a2ec247d9235fb8bc73817
5. With the refusal to conduct open operations, what accountability do the charter schools have to the taxpayers? https://knock-la.com/what-is-this-charter-school-hiding-cbba46666653?source=friends_link&sk=a5d74d503aeb0baf707d797042a5b6f5
6. The LAUSD does have immersion foreign language programs, but don’t let facts get in your way.
7. And in your final sentence, you betray the real reason behind your post — you dislike the ability of workers to organize, even when that organization is used for the benefit of students. https://medium.com/@ChangeTheLAUSD/the-winners-and-losers-of-the-lausd-strike-8278232c2f90?source=friends_link&sk=6ebf8d05d479208c02460d555f439c60
