Blog Response #3: Response to Elise's Charters Create Choice

I was shocked by Elise's post discussing Community Academy's abandoment of its bilingual curriculmn. Charter schools are approved based on the curricular nuances they contribue to the educational community. Community Academy's charter was approved with the belief it would teach Spanish and English, and it failed. In my opininon, since Community Academy is failing to fulfill its promises its charter should be removed. It is unfair to make a promise, fail to deliver and then be allowed to continue operating on a new, less innovative, promise.
After reading Elise's post, I took to Google to research which authorizer oversees Community Academy. I was not surprised by the results: the Board of Education. Through my research, I have found ample evidence demonstrating the Board of Education's poor oversight of its schools. The BOE often provides distracted oversight and leaves prolonged problems unaddressed. Elise mentioned that Community Academy is 3 years old. The fact that, even after three years, the Board of Education never addressed the bilingual problem proves it has no business in charter school oversight.
