"Studies of the charter school sector typically focus on head-to-head comparisons of charter and traditional schools at a point in time, but the expansion of parental choice and relaxation of constraints on school operations is unlikely to raise school quality overnight. Rather, the success of the reform depends in large part on whether parental choices induce improvements in the charter sector. We study quality changes among Texas charter schools between 2001 and 2011. Our results suggest that the charter sector was initially characterized by schools whose quality was highly variable and, on average, less effective than traditional public schools. However, exits from the sector, improvement of existing charter schools, and positive selection of charter management organizations that open additional schools raised average charter school effectiveness over time relative to traditional public schools. Moreover, the evidence is consistent with the belief that a reduction in student turnover as the sector matures, expansion of the share of charters that adhere to a No Excuses philosophy, and increasingly positive student selection at the times of both entry and reenrollment all contribute to the improvement of the charter sector. "

What's your point, Brucie?

Worked well for that Alice girl. LOL mate. LOL.
 
they are taking the p***.
just been reading about the FIrst Great Western fanchise stitch up, they gave it back to avoid paying £826.6 million, then got an extension which added to the £133 million extra from the goverment in 2010 means they have screwed the uk out of over a billion pounds.
give a quess who has got a five year deal uncontested , by the way
This country wants to wake up to this shower.

Dead right. Sadly, "the country" seem too concerned about bomb-carrying Islamo-beardies, Polski scroungerskis and "British Values" to notice that a right bunch of British crooks are "representing" us by feathering their beds kingsize-stylee and then not only refusing to apologise but also destroying the evidence afterwards.

Ah well.

Under the Labour Government, immigration from outside the Euro zone has cost the country an estimated £120 BILLION in just 17 years. What a disgrace labour are they are NOT to be trusted with our purse strings
 
The Goverments and the Euro's own studies have said there is next to no gain to the uk , when you add in housing health schools ect,
The body that has put this together has got 53 million grants from the EU in the last few years and one of its main contributers is in fact one of the people he is talking about living over here from Europe.
As always when looking at these things see who sponsors them in the first place.
Said it for years we are getting the piss taken out of us from those traitors in power.
Ask yourself this is it harder to get a decent house , stable job and a decent future for your kids?
There all in on it Labour , tory and the Euro shower, look at the Euro zone they cant deflate the currency , so that leaves lower wages and low inflation as the only way to control the economy, and yet all over europe they fall for it, you take the hit while the rich take the cream.
